쉐도잉 연습: How to Explain Complex Accounting Problems to Anyone! - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
Do you remember the last time you had to explain a complex accounting problem to someone?
2
And then after about five seconds of trying to explain, you get lost.
3
The person you're speaking to gets lost.
4
You know I don't speak Spanish.
5
In English, please.
6
And then it just turns into a mess.
7
In today's class, I'm going to give you a five step process to be
8
able to explain complex accounting problems in a simple way so that everyone will understand.
9
If you've been following the channel for a while, you know that I love structures and frameworks to help students communicate more efficiently.
10
And in today's class, I'm going to give you one more.
11
Generally when we have a problem, our first instinct is to try and share it with someone.
12
We get really excited.
13
Sometimes we get a little bit panicky.
14
and in our rush to explain what the problem is We actually give them all the details, but we don't tell them what the actual problem is.
15
I was watching this great interview the other day with Simon Sinek, and he was saying that when you're explaining something complex, You need to make it so simple
16
that it's repeatable because if it's repeatable it's understandable
17
and that's what your goal should be
18
when you're trying to explain a complex accounting problem make it so simple and concise
19
that the person listening can repeat it back to you.
20
And that's exactly what our five step process aims to achieve.
21
Okay, so let's look at the first step.
22
What's the issue?
23
We want to give one sentence that describes what the problem is.
24
We want to prepare the listeners brain for the information that they're about to receive.
25
So let's imagine it's a revenue recognition problem.
26
If I was speaking to a finance person, they'll know what revenue recognition means.
27
But if I'm talking to a non -finance person, they would have no idea what I'm talking about in most cases.
28
So I want to be very careful with the words I choose.
29
So I would say something like, we discovered
30
that the revenue on one of our contracts was recorded in
31
the wrong month you notice here the word i used was recorded
32
because that's a word everyone's going to know step number two is what is the specific issue
33
and what is the impact on the business.
34
So I could say the revenue was recorded before the service was delivered
35
and this caused our Q2 revenue to be overstated by $50 ,000.
36
Here, over -stated means that the number was too high.
37
If you want the opposite of that, you can say, understated.
38
If I was speaking to someone outside of finance, I'd probably give them an extra sentence, just something that explains how this problem is going to affect their area.
39
So for example, if I was speaking to someone in sales, I would say that means that the commissions we calculated in Q2 were incorrect
40
or if I was speaking to someone in commercial, I might say that Our rebates have been calculated incorrectly or our revenue share was wrong in Q2.
41
So we'll need to fix it.
42
Just before I forget, there is a free PDF download of this class with all the vocabulary and structures.
43
as well as some other complex accounting problems.
44
The link to that PDF is in the description of this video.
45
Step three is what is the cause?
46
So I could say, We used the contract date instead of the delivery date.
47
Step 4 is: How do we prevent it happening again?
48
So you can say, we have set up a 30 minute training session with a data entry team to do a review of the input procedure.
49
- And the last step is how do we fix it?
50
What's the solution?
51
so i would say we have corrected the overstatement in q2 and moved the revenue into Q3.
52
If I put everything together, it should now look like this.
53
We discovered that the revenue on one of our contracts was recorded in the wrong month.
54
The revenue was recorded before the service was delivered and this caused our Q2 revenue to be overstated by $50 ,000.
55
The issue occurred because we used the contract date instead of the delivery date.
56
We've set up a 30 minute training session with the data entry team to do a review of the data input procedure.
57
We've corrected the overstatement and moved the amount to Q3.
58
You notice here with the example, I keep the language very simple and easy to understand.
59
Thank you.
60
I worked with a CFO once and he said, "You don't win any awards for using more words." And that's a problem I see with English learners.
61
Their focus is on trying to show off, to use the most sophisticated words,
62
But your focus should be trying to get your message across in the most efficient way using the least amount of words.
63
The last piece of advice I would give you is always prepare
64
and practice a few times before you go and speak to someone.
65
Remember, keep it simple if the person wants more details they'll ask you
66
if you like today's class let me know in the comment section below remember
67
that there is a free pdf of everything we learned and you can find that in the description of this video

이 비디오는 누구를 위한 것인가요?
복잡한 내용을 간단히 설명해야 하는 영어 학습자, 특히 비즈니스나 회계 분야에서 의사소통 능력을 키우고 싶은 중급 이상 수준의 학생들에게 완벽한 콘텐츠입니다. "문제를 설명하다가 헷갈리거나 상대방이 이해하지 못하는 상황"을 겪어본 적이 있다면, 이 비디오의 5단계 프로세스로 실전에서 바로 사용할 수 있는 표현과 구조를 배울 수 있습니다. shadow speak이나 shadowing site를 이용해 발음과 말하기 속도를 연습하고 있다면, 이 대화를 따라하기 좋은 자료가 될 것입니다.
빼놓을 수 없는 단어와 관용구
- overstated: (숫자가) 과장되어 기록된. 반대말은 understated (과소 기록된).
- revenue recognition: 수익 인식 (회계 용어이지만, 영어로 설명할 때 "when revenue is recorded"로 쉽게 바꿀 수 있습니다).
- repeatable: 반복 가능한. 복잡한 내용을 설명할 때 "simple and repeatable"이 중요하다는 점을 기억하세요.
이 단어들은 회계뿐만 아니라 다양한 분야에서 복잡한 문제를 설명할 때 자주 사용되므로, shadowing practice에 포함시키면 좋습니다.
발음을 올바르게 하는 방법
이 비디오의 스피커는 명료한 발음과 적절한 강세를 사용해 복잡한 용어도 쉽게 들리게 합니다. 특히 영어 발음 교정에 집중해야 할 부분은 다음과 같습니다. "revenue"의 'e'는 짧게 발음하고, "recognition"의 'g'는 약하게 발음해 "rek-uhg-nish-uhn"처럼 말합니다. "overstated"와 "understated"는 마지막 'd'를 강조하지 않고 부드럽게 발음합니다. shadowspeak 또는 shadowspeaks와 같은 사이트에서 이 대화를 따라하며 발음과 리듬을 연습하면, 실제 의사소통에서 더 자연스러워질 것입니다. 또한, 문장 사이의 쉼표와 마침표를 이용해 말의 흐름을 조절하는 연습도 중요합니다. 스피커가 "So, let's look at the first step"처럼 'so'를 강조해 청자를 이끄는 방법을 관찰하고 따라해 보세요.

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.
