I have shown this video in various training groups. Most of them found it interesting, while I had a very different reaction from another group. I'd love to hear what you think!

About this blog...
Ca y est. E fatto! Here we go...
With a little encouragement from Zhongjun, I am ready for action. Ready to spread the word, share resources and hopefully encourage discussion on various points of human interaction via the spoken word.
Watch this space for what I consider to be interesting videos and language resources on the internet to improve your English and your ability to communicate well, regardless of the language you are using. I hope we can also explore the myriad cultural challenges and opportunities we face today as our world gets smaller. And because I love a good laugh as much as the next person, I'll be sure to share some funny treats to keep us all happy!
InterCom Language Strategies was founded in 2003 to help people communicate better by becoming aware of their style of communication and how it may be perceived by others. The intention of this blog is to provide InterCom Language Strategies's learners with a "one-stop-shopping" spot of resources and to encourage them to come back and continue their progress once their training has finished.
I hope to hear from you!

Quotation of the Day
Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. - George Orwell
Obama's victory speech
The honeymoon may appear to be over, with poor nomination choices and criticism for our new president. But this speech is a gem and well worth watching. The joy and hope in people's eyes make us sense how these people felt under Bush and the relief they feel that it is, indeed, a new day.
