English words of Indian origin
I’ve just learned in this telegraph.co.uk article that a lot of Hindi, Urdu and Persian words have made their way into the English language.
Some of these words are quite common, like pyjamas, shampoo, avatar, bungalow, juggernaut, jungle, punch, yoga, curry, guru, chutney and veranda.
These words “feel as British as fish and chips but have Eastern roots”!
What type of communicator are you?
We all know how important it is to have good communication skills.
It might be helpful to know what kind of communication style you have and what kind the person you’re talking to has.
According to this article (link to: mtdtraining.com), there are four main types of communication styles: analytical, intuitive, functional and personal.
In short:
The analytical communicator focuses on facts and data.
The intuitive communicator wants to have a broad overview.
The functional communicator loves order, evidence, data and facts.
The personal communicator focuses more on feelings.
