1
The ideal engineer is a composite.
2
He is not a scientist.
3
He is not a mathematician.
4
He is not a sociologist or a writer.
5
But he may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these disciplines in solving engineering problems.
6
Quote by Nathan W.

Daugherty, American civil engineer.

I am Olivia Augustin and this is English for Engineers.
9
Hello and welcome to the English for Engineers podcast.
10
I am seriously thrilled to jump into this podcast.
11
It might sound odd, but I could talk about language almost all day long.
12
Let me tell you a little bit about myself, as this is the very first episode of my new podcast, and maybe we have never met before.
13
So who am I, and why should you listen to me at all?
14
My name is Olivia Augustin, and I'm a certified English teacher and business English coach.
15
But I'm a civil engineer as well.
16
Back in the day, I was specialized in infrastructure, and I worked as a project manager for a small but mighty engineering office in Tyrol.
17
Mighty means they were highly specialized.
18
And one day we ended up with a project in White Russia in Belarus.
19
And that was the very first time I was involved in an international project.
20
But it was also a project that was done in three different languages.
21
And for the first time in my professional life, I could bring my linguistic skills to the table.
22
When we got that project in Belarus, I was the one engineer at our office who was fluent in English.
23
And I also was the one engineer who studied Russian at the University of Innsbruck at that time.
24
You know, for fun.
25
Because that's what you do in your spare time.
26
So I ended up translating all the project documentation from German to English and from German to Russian.
27
Very exciting times.
28
And I like to think that was the moment I knew I'm going to work in linguistics one day,
29
because if there's some way to combine language with systematic thinking, that's the place where you're gonna find me.
30
There's one sentence I have on my website, and that's, my experience is your advantage.
31
It sounds very marketing-ish, but what do I wanna say by that?
32
So why is my experience your advantage?
33
Because I've been part of the engineering world for about 15 years.
34
I know your turf.
35
I understand how challenging it can sometimes be to communicate with clients or subcontractors efficiently,
36
let alone in a foreign language and across various cultures.
37
Been there, done that.
38
So here we are.
39
My company, which is called Markoda, exists because I understand one thing quite clearly,
40
and that is that you need to learn business English
41
and technical English quickly and you want to do that without boredom
42
and without struggle and without stress and without a grammar-induced headache
43
because you need this process from start to fluency you need to happen
44
that smooth and fast so in 2019 when I finally started purely focusing on helping engineers master business English.
45
Back then, I've already been using my language skills for about 12 years.
46
And in those 12 years, I helped businesses and organizations to share their brand stories in multiple languages.
47
I have translated and interpreted before I started coaching 101.
48
And now that I'm specialized in English for engineers, I can serve big companies and individuals all over Europe and Asia.
49
And how do I serve them?
50
Through what?
51
I like to call it quite practical and no-nonsense lessons.
52
So while my company, my code is still the new kid on the block, my experience, my passion and definitely my know-how are not.
53
So even though I love my engineering jobs, my heart was elsewhere.
54
And that's always been helping engineers to become skilled communicators in English.
55
That much about me, what are we covering in today's episode besides that super lengthy introduction?
56
Today I want to share some tricks with you to get you started, or some tips.
57
Things that you can do even before you decide to take business English courses, even before you book your very first professional business English, technical English lesson.
58
Because, you know, there are things you can do at home, in your spare time, that will help you tremendously.
59
Some of the things that I'm mentioning now, that I'm going to mention, are known as immersion technique, in case you want to Google that later.
60
Number one, I want you to change your evening routine.
61
Not too much, just slightly.
62
Every night, when you're in your bathroom and you're brushing your teeth, in your mind, tell yourself what you did that day.
63
Use your target language, in our case that's English.
64
use the English you already know and just form the sentences in your mind.
65
Use the grammar and the vocabulary you already know.
66
And if there's a word or a certain sentence structure that you want to use, but you don't know how to use it in English,
67
just substitute that with one word, with one part of the sentence from your mother language.
68
Just use that one German, that one Dutch, that one Portuguese, that one Chinese word, whatever your mother language is.
69
So, whenever you brush your teeth, just tell yourself what you did all day long.
70
And it won't take long and speaking English becomes your second nature.
71
Because let me tell you what happens.
72
I'll give you a very basic example.
73
Let's say you tell yourself, I arrived at the office at 8 a.m.
74
Then I had a meeting with the, with the, oh man, what's the English word for Baustellenleiter?
75
But who cares?
76
You just use the German word.
77
Then I had a meeting with the Baustellenleiter.
78
So that was day one.
79
Day two, you do a recap of your day again while you're brushing your teeth
80
and you tell yourself this afternoon the Bauleiter called me
81
and again you just use the German expression for the word you're looking for in English.
82
By day three you're so annoyed with yourself that you look
83
that word up that you look up that word in a dictionary.
84
The dictionary will give you four alternatives most likely for a Bauleiter.
85
There will be construction supervisor, construction manager, site manager or foreman, depending a little bit on the circumstances.
86
But there you have it.
87
By just talking to yourself and getting angry with yourself because it's such a basic word that you didn't know, you learned four new words.
88
Isn't that amazing?
89
And that works with almost anything.
90
The next tip I'm giving you is actually one of my favorites.
91
And it's fun.
92
Go to your streaming account, that may be Netflix, that may be Amazon,
93
whatever is out there, and change your language settings of your favorite show to English audio and subtitles.
94
So what happens?
95
You're watching a movie, you're watching a TV series, and you're watching it in English.
96
So the language input, it's through your ears, you hear it.
97
and because it's your favorite show, you can easily follow the storyline.
98
But by having the subtitles in English as well, you also get language input by reading.
99
That's like double the trouble, but in a good way.
100
Number three, listen to the radio.
101
Okay, we're doing that, most of us, when we're sitting in the office, when we're driving home, when we commute home, when we are in a car.
102
but listen to music that has lyrics with full sentences.
103
That cuts out hip-hop and rap.
104
So go for country or singer-songwriter stuff.
105
Not because that's my favorite kind of music, but because it has lyrics with full sentences.
106
And that helps you getting a grip regarding language, regarding sentence structure and word order.
107
So in my case, when we moved to the Netherlands ten years ago, it meant that I was listening to Dutch folklore for half a year.
108
It was torture, but it worked.
109
It was necessary to get the melody of the language into my brain.
110
Tip number four.
111
Find a study buddy.
112
Someone, for example, you can regularly exchange text messages with.
113
And hello, autocorrect?
114
Your spelling and vocabulary will improve tremendously.
115
Alternatively, if your spouse, your partner, is quite good at speaking English and they are willing to help you out.
116
You could agree on 10 to 15 minutes a day where you solely speak English.
117
So watching TV and listening to the radio is all about language input.
118
Self-talk, getting a study buddy, singing along is called language output.
119
Both are equally important because high-quality input produces high-quality output.
120
If you prefer to re-read that information on a PDF, then I have a little gift for you.
121
If you go to marcoda.org slash 5tipsfluency,
122
you can download a free PDF resource with a recap of the tips I just gave you.
123
But there's a certain point when those DIY techniques will have reached their limit.
124
And you need more structure and a system to further grow your business and technical English skills.
125
And that's when you need to change your strategy again.
126
And you might want to call me, your trusted word nerd, and then we can develop a strategy to reach your goals.
127
What can you expect from this podcast in the future?
128
The primary reason for this podcast is that I want to provide you with interesting language input.
129
I'm going to share tips and tricks regarding technical English and business English and English business communication across cultures.
130
That's for sure.
131
But I also want to share scientific research that is backing up language learning techniques.
132
But because why, that's logical.
133
We are engineers.
134
Hello.
135
And we like to know the why before we do stuff.
136
I also plan on interviewing quite interesting people from all over the place.
137
so you can get used to different accents and maybe you get used to different ways of seeing the world.
138
That would be nice.
139
And they always, those guests, they're always going to have a connection with engineering in general,
140
of construction, with technical English or with business communication.
141
That was it for today's podcast.
142
Looking forward to talking to you soon, my friends.

따라 말해 볼 만한 문장
영상에 나오는 짧고 완결된 문장으로, 일상 대화에서 그대로 쓸 수 있습니다:
- Because that's what you do in your spare time.
- I'll give you a very basic example.
- What can you expect from this podcast in the future?
이 영상의 문법
화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.
| 문형 | 영상 속 표현 |
|---|---|
| 수동태 be + 과거분사 — 누가 하는지보다 무슨 일이 일어나는지에 초점 | was specialized · was involved · was done |
| 현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때 | have never met · I've been · have translated |
주의할 발음
화자는 you're, I'm, we're 같은 축약형과 약화된 형태를 30번 사용합니다. 들리는 대로 짧게 발음하세요.
- “th” 소리: mathematician /ˌmæθ.(ə.)məˈtɪʃ.ən/, thrill /θɹɪl/
- “sh”와 “zh” 소리: specialize /ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪz/, dictionary /ˈdɪk.ʃəˌnɛ.ɹi/, immersion /ɪˈmɝʒən/, mathematician /ˌmæθ.(ə.)məˈtɪʃ.ən/, documentation /ˌdɑkjəmɛnˈteɪʃən/
- 긴 단어 — 강세 위치에 주의: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, dictionary /ˈdɪk.ʃəˌnɛ.ɹi/, communicator /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪtə/, mathematician /ˌmæθ.(ə.)məˈtɪʃ.ən/, alternatively /ɔlˈtɝ.nə.tɪv.li/
한국어 화자가 어려워하는 소리:
- /f/ — ㅍ(/p/)으로 바꾸지 말고 윗니를 아랫입술에 대기: certify /ˈsɜː.tɪ.faɪ/, fluency /ˈfluːənsi/, folklore /ˈfoʊk.lɔːɹ/, fluent /ˈfluənt/, foreman /ˈfɔː(ɹ).mən/
- /v/ — ㅂ(/b/)과 구별하기: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, alternatively /ɔlˈtɝ.nə.tɪv.li/, supervisor /ˈsupɚˌvaɪzɚ/
- /z/ — ㅈ이 아니라 성대를 울리는 /s/: specialize /ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪz/, translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, composite /kəmˈpɑzɪt/, supervisor /ˈsupɚˌvaɪzɚ/
이 영상으로 연습하는 방법
- 먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
- 보통 속도로 한 문장씩 섀도잉하고, 화자의 리듬과 맞을 때까지 반복합니다.
- 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, podcast, subtitle, vocabulary 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
