LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Liquidated Damages

💥TOPICS FOR OUR LEGAL ENGLISH COURSES

✨What Are Liquidated Damages?
⚡️Liquidated damages (LDs) are a sum of money specified in some contracts that are to be paid by one party to another as compensation for intangible losses. Liquidated damages are to be paid only if one of the parties to the contract is found to be in breach of contract.

⚡️The liquidated damages clause covers events such as a missed deadline or a leaked company secret. The damage is real but a precise dollar loss is difficult to pin down. Instead, both parties to the contract settle on a number that reflects the importance of meeting the terms of the contract.

Leave a reply

🔔What Are Soft Skills?

💥Topics for our courses

✅In today’s fast-paced world, success in the workplace requires more than just technical expertise and knowledge. As the nature of work continues to evolve, it is important for individuals to possess attributes and abilities that allow them to collaborate with teams and colleagues—otherwise known as soft skills.

✅Soft skills—also known as “people skills” or “interpersonal skills”—are a set of personal attributes and abilities that allow individuals to effectively interact with others in a professional setting. At their core, these include the ability to collaborate effectively, manage time, and communicate with clarity, among others.

✅Soft skills are difficult to measure or quantify; however, they are essential for success in a wide range of industries and professions. Whether you are working with colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds or communicating with customers and clients around the world, the ability to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and build strong relationships is the key to success.

🔔Examples of soft skills: Communication, Leadership, Problem-solving, Coaching and mentoring, Management, Strategic thinking, Teamwork, Conflict resolution, Mediation, Accountability, Collaboration, Creativity…

BUSINESS ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Salary or Wages?

Leave a reply

🔔Difference Between Salary and Wages

💥This is a common question in our business and finance courses.

🔔TOPICS FOR OUR COURSES

✅Salary is a fixed amount paid or transferred to the employees at regular intervals for their performance and productivity, at the end of the month whereas wages are hourly or daily-based payment given to the labor for the amount of work finished in a day.

✅The main difference between salary and wages lies in the fact that salary is fixed, i.e. it is predetermined and agreed between the employer and employee, while wages are not fixed, as it varies depending on the performance of the labor.

✅Salaried persons are generally said to be doing “white collar office jobs” which implies that an individual is well educated, skilled and is employed with some firm and holds a good position in the society.

✅Wage is termed as a compensation that is given on the basis of the amount of work done and the hours spent in doing that. Wages are variable and do vary with day to day functioning of an individual. Wages are given to labors who are engaged in manufacturing processes and get the compensation on a daily basis.

LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Chattel

Leave a reply

🔔TOPICS FOR OUR COURSES

💥What Is Chattel?
🔔Chattel is personal property that is movable between locations, as opposed to real property, which has a fixed location. Common examples include mobile homes, furniture, and automobiles. This article explains what chattel is and how it is used as security in chattel mortgages.

🔔In the legal and financial world, chattel refers to movable personal property. Chattel’s value can drop rapidly due to depreciation, as is often seen with new cars, and typically does not increase with improvements or renovations.

🔔For these reasons, chattel property is treated differently from real estate for tax and accounting purposes.

🔔Additionally, legal systems treat the rights to chattel property differently from the rights to real property. The rights to real property typically have longer statutes of limitations and are harder to overturn.

Exciting News: Launching A Book Club In English!

Leave a reply

I love reading!
I dedicate 50% of my time to reading.

What I absolutely love is that I live not here with you, friends, family, clients, collaborators, and other wonderful people, but in other places where jaw-dropping landscapes and memorable characters shine.

I love the feeling that when writing about a topic, I get a tentacle that draws me into a story that I read a long time ago. That familiar air stops me in my word tracks.
…..

I was very lucky to grow up in a house full of books…

I have written more about my reading passion in this article on Fragrantica: What Three Fragrances Would You Take On A Desert Island?

All the details about this new Book Club will be published soon.

BUSINESS ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Cold Calling

Leave a reply

TOPICS FOR OUR BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSES

💥What is Cold Calling?

⚡️Cold calling is a sales practice in which individuals are contacted who have not previously expressed interest in a product or service.

⚡️Warm calling is the solicitation of a customer who had previously expressed interest in the company or product.

💥Cold calling generates a range of responses including call terminations, hang-ups, and verbal attacks.
🔔According to a 2020 LinkedIn report, roughly 69% of prospects accepted a call from a new salesperson in the previous year and 82% of those prospects were willing to meet with the salesperson who called. However, the success rate correlates to the persistence of the seller, with an average of 18 calls needed to connect with a buyer. Most sellers give up after four calls, never getting to a “yes.”

🔔On the other hand, cold calling is surprisingly effective. About 82% of prospects who do not hang up the phone actually book a meeting to follow up on the pitch.

So, plan carefully your cold calling strategy.

I get cold-called a lot, but I usually hang up because I do not see any benefit for me from that conversation. Moreover, a salesperson who has pre-researched the customer and prepared a personalized approach makes an effective cold call.

We have a few classes specially designed for cold calling strategies.

One of my passions is discovering new places.

Since I dream of traveling and writing on the beach, I’m working hard to make it happen. Meanwhile, I am experiencing the journey through your eyes.

I am about to launch a new newsletter about my passion for traveling, and together we will unearth some not-so-famous travel destinations and other juicy and exciting details about traveling.

Today I am suggesting a budget destination in Europe for March 2025.

For a budget-friendly European destination in March 2025, consider exploring Montenegro. This Balkan gem offers stunning Adriatic coastlines, historic towns, and affordable amenities.

Flights
From Bucharest, you can find direct flights to Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica, with airlines like Ryanair.
Here are some of the departing flights from London:
Ryanair UK from STN to TGD, priced from EURO 53 (round trip) will take 2 hours and 50 minutes.
Wizz Air from LGW to TGD, priced from EURO 137 (round trip) will take 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Accommodation
In Podgorica, consider staying at the Hotel Aurel, which offers comfortable rooms and amenities at affordable rates. Alternatively, the Hotel Ziya provides a blend of luxury and affordability.

Montenegro’s mild climate in March makes it a pleasant time to visit, with fewer tourists and more affordable prices.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR TUTORIAL: Simple Present Tense: How to Use It, With Examples

Simple Present Tense: How to Use It, With Examples

Check out the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKcWvrcEL-o

Welcome to the most informative YouTube channel for English learners!

The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding s or es to the end.
The other is to talk about habitual actions or occurrences.

I hope you enjoyed this English lesson about the Present Simple tense!
