Energizing Tidbits

Energizing tidbits (Petiscos energizantes) - heretofore referred to as E-Tidbits - will come in the form of short objective teachings (the posts) on:

• idiomatic expressions, grammar explanations 
• the wonderful and numerous phrasal verbs 
• old (but still used) and new slang 
• expressions used in movies and TV series
• question and answer dialog  
• American cultural distinctions, such as cuisine and eating habits 
• American cultural and business tidbits that will help you impress your American boss over those long-distant phone calls, as well as your American coworkers
• tidbits that will help you impress others when you take on a position in the good ole USA, or just plan to travel there, or to any of its territories or anywhere else in the English-speaking world
• ...and more.

           

Other energizing tidbits we would like to offer is an opportunity for you to receive short answers, or exchange information on cultural distinctions in YOUR country. These distinctions could include: 

• business and social culture
• customs, habits, history 
• effective communication 
• the national cuisine and eating habits 
• worldview 

These topics can help visitors in understanding better how to respectfully conduct themselves and effectively communicate with nationals. This is highly sought-after information by multinational corporations which have executives who work overseas short-term and/or long-term. Outside of a seminar or training session on the subject, such dialog could increase the success rate of adaptation in the host culture, which is essential for effective, long-lasting, cross-cultural, long-distance and face-to-face business and social relationships. 

Talk to you later, take care and enjoy the E-Tidbits!
