Les maken...
1
It's a busy time.
2
We're right in the middle of launching a new series of online project management courses.
3
Exciting but also very challenging.
4
International projects can complicate life in so many ways.
5
Everyone working separately and in different time zones.
6
For me the number one priority at this stage is to create a real team.
7
I've got October 12th, 24th and then November 8th, so if those are the dates that you have.
8
One minute Dan, Matt has arrived.
9
Hi Dan.
10
Hey there.
11
Not late am I?
12
No. Not at all, we're just running a bit ahead of time.
13
Hello, it's Paula.
14
Hi, Paula.
15
Hi.
16
Hi, Paula, it's Matt.
17
We've got Dan and Stephanie with us.
18
Hi.
19
Hi, everyone.
20
Excellent.
21
Everyone's here.
22
So, this is our first meeting as a team.
23
As I'm sure that you all have seen on email, most of the programming work for the Mexico part of the project will be handled by our US IT department.
24
We're having a call with them next week, so I thought we could have a brief chat today to plan our priorities for that conversation.
25
Dan is from the US and knows the people in IT and is on the call because I'd like his advice.
26
But, Stephanie, do you want to start?
27
Priorities for you.
28
Okay.
29
I've worked on similar online projects to this in Germany, also working with the US sometimes.
30
I think that we need to be careful about time and budget.
31
These are the top priorities.
32
Making sure that they respect the schedule and don't go over budget.
33
We can discuss other things as the work moves forward, but we need the US to deliver on time and on budget for Mexico.
34
That sounds like great advice.
35
This project is really exciting for Mexico as online learning is starting to become big here.
36
I've never worked with the US, So I really think your experience can help us, Stephanie.
37
Totally disagree.
38
I respect your experience, Stephanie.
39
Yes, budgets and timing are important, but I was actually an IT lead over here in the past.
40
I've delivered over 100 projects to the U.S market and in Mexico, and I'm telling you, our focus should absolutely be on quality.
41
If you get the quality wrong, you've got very unhappy customers, and we want happy customers.
42
A high standard of final product is very important for us.
43
It's key.
44
Quality should be your number one priority.
45
But I think that we have to focus on timeline and costs.
46
We can evaluate the work later.
47
Sure, but they're not the main thing.
48
Okay, look, I think we can all agree that standards are important, but delivering on time is important too.
49
Budgets for projects are very tight at the moment, so...
50
Quality is what wins customers.
51
Quality is what will get their attention.
52
So, Stephanie, let's take a look at your proposed schedule and costing, and then we can discuss quality.
53
Is that OK?
54
Right then.
55
Thanks, everyone.
56
We'll all meet again at the same time next week.
57
Bye-bye.
58
Thank you.
59
I'm not sure.
60
I'm really not sure. About what?
61
Dan, he's just so arrogant.
62
Quality, quality, quality.
63
I'm not sure that I can work with him.
64
Look, this is the first time you've talked.
65
I'm sure you'll find a way.
66
Why don't you just try?
67
Could you manage the US IT side of things?
68
I'd prefer to work with Paula and the Mexico rollout.
69
I really like Paola.
70
Well, hang on.
71
Let's take some time to think about this.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
