Have you ever wondered what your boss thinks of your English?

Well, I'm here with Mike, who is a boss, a business owner from Cardinal Exteriors.

We're going to just get to know him a little bit, and I want to ask a little bit about,

you know, what it's like working with people who are also learning English as a second language. But first,

hi, Mike, how you doing? good how are you good um

so can you tell me where are you from i'm right from portland maine yeah born

and raised awesome never left that's awesome

so would you say you have a main accent yes absolutely new england accent i've heard stronger accents sure

but you have a little bit

southern main accent southern more urban okay very cool very cool

so um so we met because mike's actually putting in all new windows in my home

and I'm very excited they're looking awesome

so shout out to you for doing a great job on those

and I was curious like how long have you had your business oh that's a long time

so how's going i guess it's going all right good the first four

or five years were really of my own business were a struggle yeah

but we found our niche and now we're doing really well

and and we did a lot of word of mouth business

and things have been going great so what would you say your niche is

so a lot of what we do is exterior renovations

so siding and windows are what we specialize in we do a little bit of roofing okay but

and some decking for the most part we'll do anything on

the exterior of your home to give it a little bit more curb appeal oh i like

that curb appeal is important um

and how did you learn how to do this like did you go to school

or did you learn as an apprentice or did someone in your friends or family teach you

Believe it or not, I went to school for a history degree with a minor in education.

Oh my gosh!

Yeah, so I got into coaching while I was still in college,

and the guy that I was coaching with for his kids got me into this business.

Wait, what were you coaching?

I was a baseball coach.

Wow.

Yeah.

So it was really kind of like luck?

It was kind of luck, yeah.

I was kind of in between finishing up college, finishing up playing college baseball,

coaching young teenagers and I own this company that did exterior renovations

and asked me to come to work as a sales guy.

That's how I got into the business.

I've been around construction my whole life.

So I knew a little bit,

enough about it to be dangerous yeah 2000 I started in this business as a salesman that's so cool

and now what do you what do you spend most of your days doing is it also sales

so yeah I so I have a business partner

and then I both I do most of the project management going job to job

and uh doing sales okay

and he does a lot of the administrative stuff uh where he does the bookkeeping oh

that's a good partner to have and he also does a lot of sales

and project management depending on you know where the projects are at okay yeah okay very cool um

i did want to ask you because i thought it was very interesting

that you work with people from brazil and probably other countries too um

so i i i was able to talk to some of your guys

and they're super nice because i speak portuguese but i was curious

if you're working with people

and you don't speak their language are there ever communication issues yeah you're always seeing it today firsthand

i think some issues could happen even

if everyone's a native english speaker you know like scheduling or miscommunication

but yeah tell me more i think the biggest challenge is isn't necessary

it would speak first of all i don't speak another second language yeah

so i use a lot of google translate oh yeah that's a good tool um

but the biggest challenge with communication is the dialect

so i could have you know i could say something

that may make sense to me yeah

but it doesn't make sense to someone from a different language for example

I'll use like columns columns yeah columns of a house I'm trying to explain that for someone that doesn't speak English.

I have to show them a picture.

Okay.

And then they'll say it in their language and then we're on the same page.

Oh, that's so interesting.

So visuals help a lot.

Visuals do help a lot, yeah.

Is there anything

that you feel like is a big difference in culture? like i don't know

i mean anything like oh just the way people communicate

or i don't know i think that it's interesting to me

that the so i i work with a lot of resilient culture

and i find them to be very calm and very relaxed yeah in their communication yeah it's very quiet

It's a much quieter way of communicating, which I appreciate.

I feel like from my standpoint, I'm always raised and amped up and trying to get things done.

The clients take their time, they think it through, and then move forward.

So it just feels like a much calmer way of communicating.

I feel that.

Yeah, I can definitely relate to that.

There's probably a lot of stress, a lot of logistics, a lot of people you're trying to make happy including me and

but things get done work ethic is second to none

that's a really good phrase how they communicate versus how they work very quickly systems in place okay they're very efficient workers

but the communication is very, I think it's methodical and well thought out, that's why they're so successful with their own business model.

Is there any advice you would give someone who is learning English about how to communicate with their American boss?

That's a great question.

So a lot of what we do is through text messaging.

Okay.

And that helps because they can text message in our language and it comes across to me in English.

Oh, cool.

Yeah.

So I think there's never, in any language, there's never over a community.

The more you communicate, the better off everybody is.

So you're not going to get in trouble for over -communicating if you text an extra text just to confirm information.

Correct.

100

But if you don't text or you don't confirm or you don't ask the question,

101

that's where things could get kind of hairy.

102

If I don't have an answer from the night before, it's hard for me to know where we're at the next morning.

103

So communicate as much as you need to understand what the assignment is the next day.

104

And honestly, that's been the most successful is the communication

105

that happens after 5pm at my house is probably the most I communicate with the guys throughout the work day.

106

To set up the next day.

107

Oh, that's such a good tip.

108

So over -communicate, even if you think maybe you're asking too much or, you know, confirming too many times.

109

You're never going to bother a boss.

110

During the work day, for me, I want as little responsibility as possible.

111

I want to know everybody's in there everyone knows what they're supposed to be doing right

112

and where they're going even though i have a family at home yeah

113

i can always respond through texts okay always uh

114

you know get to you back in fact i can't always talk on the phone right

115

and then talking on the phone is a challenge yeah

116

if you have different languages different accents different understandings of what things mean sure

117

and on the phone you can't really i guess you could send a picture of columns

118

or something but it's tricky you can't use google translate on the phone you can't use photos you can

119

but it's kind of a but so yeah i think texting is

120

that is a great way to communicate yeah

121

and you know encourage your boss to learn your language well yeah i mean yeah it takes time though

122

and you've got a lot on your plate

123

so um i mean it's certainly fun to learn under other languages

124

but um i mean yeah you've got a lot on your plate

125

and it kind of goes both ways too you gotta

126

you know learn each other's languages learn how to communicate best

127

and yeah i like the text message tip though and over communication would you tell someone if they were

128

communicating too much would you be like hey i think yes i would i think it gets to the point where

129

you know it's like over over we're talking about the same thing over

130

and over it's okay now we understand have a good night

131

but you would prefer that to not having the communication assuming there's

132

that phrase it shows you that she also shows us

133

that they care oh yeah

134

if they're over communicating then they care just as much as we do i like that because i think some people

135

worry about bothering their boss like oh i don't want to send the message

136

because i don't want to seem needy

137

or annoying you're not being annoying better to confirm awesome very cool any other last tips

138

or is that that's a good one no I think just keep communicating don't be shy about

139

or embarrassed about not understanding our language yeah you know

140

so that's one thing i think that happens as well is is

141

if you don't understand the english language they tend to um go quiet

142

and silent that's huge don't be shy don't be shy

143

if you don't understand something feel free to just spill it talk to us

144

and just say like i didn't get that

145

or i don't quite understand i don't understand yeah yeah that's really good tip

146

because uh yeah people feel like oh you know my boss is gonna think i'm not very smart

147

but that's not it right and

148

that happens you know from an english language to english language people aren't um

149

they're too afraid to speak up whether

150

or not not knowing how to do something

151

or not understanding the assignment always speak up

152

if you don't understand that's how you find it i love

153

that yeah it's it doesn't have to be embarrassing

154

it happens with native speakers too like hey

155

i didn't understand what you said can you uh tell me in other words

156

or yeah explain to me again explain to me like i'm five what's going on

157

because i don't always know all the contractor terms either

158

so i have to say what was

159

that you know what are you talking about exactly very cool

160

so what else is on your agenda for today for your work day

161

so today now

162

that we kind of got a little bit of a behind

163

0.75배속으로 한 문장씩 섀도잉을 시작하고, 익숙해지면 보통 속도로 돌아갑니다.
자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, accent, confirm, curious 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.
