加拿大外贸
回顾自己在外企打拼的这几年，除了在外资企业工作的压力之外，更大的障碍是语言的交流问题。前两天和朋友喝咖啡聊天时，说到这几年的奋斗历程，特别是英语学习的问题，心升感慨，一路走来也是有着痛苦的挣扎与收获的喜悦，愿意在此与朋友分享我的 一些经验，并一起交流学习共同进步。也许是因为运气，也许是还有点实力，进入这个不错的外企好像没有遇到太大的困难，两轮面试后就顺利地进入了。我是做市场工作，平时除了公司内部的报表需要英文外，其他地方好像也没有什么用到英文地方。这对英文能力一般的我来说，暗暗窃喜！可是
工作一年后我完全改变了我的想法，看着同事们的经历，看着我的老板的升职过程，我感觉到，对于一个有抱负的年轻人，有真正实用的外语，真是太重要了。英语一般，甚至不懂英语，只要有工作的能力，在外企中就能够生存，而且，也会有不错的收入，但.....永远别想升职！在遇到公司财政问题时，也最容易被解聘！My God! 为什么呢！关键就是沟通，用一个新的名词就是内部关系营销。员工与老板的关系，与销售代表与客户的关系一样，沟通与感情交流是最核心的部分。能进入这个企业，个个是人精，谁 都不差。那么，获得升职的关键就是如何让老板看到你的实力。
而这个实力，是分为硬指标和软实力两部分。硬指标很容易表现，成交多少业绩，市场增长率多少，客户满意度如何，这些在成熟 的企业中都有很好的统计模型可以评估出来，而软实力就能难量化，他表现在领导力，价值观，性格等多方面。而这正是是否能得到升迁的核心要素。而这些要素只有通过不断的沟通与交往，才能被老板发现。可不幸的是，外企中具备这样掌管升职的老板们大都是总部派来的。对中文的能力可以看作零。而要能博得他们的好感，看来，一句“Hello,Welcome to China.”是远远不够的。
至此，我坚定了我学习英文，提高实用英语能力的信念。
那么，怎么学英语，学什么样的英语最有用？我不在是学生了，也不打算出国，因此，我学习的主线，就是为交流而学习，而非为考试而学习。这个交流既包括语言上的交流，也包括文化上的交流。因此，以下三点就成为我的学习核心：
1，增大词汇量，而且是最新的词汇，同时代同步的词汇
2，要真实的外国环境中学习地道英语，看大片，美国连续剧，视频材料
2，习惯真正的美国人是怎么说英语，而不是我们的Chinese English。
3，真正从美国人的工作生活的角度去学习，关注他们感兴趣的话题。

thank you ,you can say that again . most students pay a lot time and energy on exam ,not on the real life when they learn english . I will share my experience of learning with friends .
As an international businessman ,we often talk about how to improve English ,especially oral .Someone says it is too hard .Actually it is not easy to grasp a foreign language .but it is not so difficult as you thought .
I have a friend____ a girl of middle school student ,when she was 16 years old ,she went to BEIJING as clerk in a college .In the college ,she saw a lot of teachers and students can talk to foreigners fluently ,she was very admired and made up her mind she had to learn it by herself .After work ,she taught herself and consulted to other teachers. three years passed away ,her English improved a lot ,then became a teacher ,taught in infants school ,elementary school ,middle school , college ,even taught foreigners learning Chinese .Her oral is pure American English . It is pretty good .
Her experience of learning English give me a lot of encouragement. Many students graduate from college ,they pass the 四级 and 六级 ，but they cannot have a conversation fluently to foreigners .most of them pay more attention on exam .That is the most problem of Chinese education .
As a English- lover ,I want to share some tips about learning English .
1,pay much more attention on listening .Imaging ,if you cannot not get the foreigners meaning when you are having a conversation ,how can you reply ?
2,just like KARL. MARX saying ,when you are learning a foreign language ,forget all about your mother language .When you are talking,try to think about what you want to say in English on you mind ,do not think in Chinese, and then translate into english and speak it out,if you do so ,you cannot follow the others ,and you cannot speak it freely .
3,try to make a good language environment for yourself, these days ,there are a lot of good websites on the internet ,they are made by some professional educational institutions from USA ,such as “let us talk in English , American on the air , studio classroom “,they are very good for oral .
4,as the most famous Chinese saint CONFUCIUS said , interesting is the best teacher .when you really love it and are interested in it, you can master it .I think if you want to learn something useful ,you have to work hard ,but something useless such as smoking, you can learn very easily .
This is my experience of learning English , I think this will be helpful for English-lovers .my major is engineering ,not English , after graduating from college, I learn it on line about 5 years ,and write down about 100 notebooks (1,500,000 English words ).
I would like to help friends of entering into international business .
