Business English Negotiations - Vocabulary

STUDY GUIDE Hello everyone Here is a short guide about how best to use my lessons. 1. Listen many times over and over again. You can listen once or twice on one occasion and then again a day or two later. Your goal should be a total of 5 to 10 repeats of all the parts of the Negotiations Lesson. That is the minimum. Research shows that to learn something really well and long-term you need a lot of repetition. 2. Sometimes combine listening with reading at the same time if you feel ambitious. Transcripts available on my website: www.maciejsymonowicz.org 3. Start with the main dialogue then the vocabulary section. Then you can move on to audio exercises. There is also a segment with extra example sentences for the vocabulary covered to be posted on FB soon. But really all the segments are standalone and can be used in a different order. If you find it too difficult start with the vocabulary or example sentences segment first. 4. You should understand at least 70 of the content. If you are lower than this you probably need some extra introduction maybe a lesson or two maybe you need to look up some of the vocabulary in a dictionary before you continue using the course. If you are 70 or over good! Now you can start listening. Remember each segment should be heard at least 5-10 times! 5 If you find a particular segment more useful than the others you can listen and read that one more and perhaps ignore the others a little. 6. Contact me for extra materials for this lesson. They are also free of charge e.g. extra vocabulary. 7. Remember: listen deeply! Find a place where you are not going to be disturbed for an hour or so and listen to the lesson. Preferably do it when you are not in a hurry no one is interrupting when you are relaxed. Stress a hectic schedule lack of sleep or multitasking will damage your improvement will hurt your results. 8. Work actively with the material once you have learnt it a little. Create your own mind maps and flashcards read interesting negotiation cases or watch footage about them online etc. Use spaced repetition. LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN !!!!
