Listen Later

This is the 2nd and final part of an interview with Ama Zbarcea, communication specialist, legal expert, expat, and polyglot.

Ama has a multicultural background, and she has worked with people from various cultures. On top of that: she knows from experience what it means to be 'lost in translation'.  

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’ll LEARN:

  •  About cultural differences between the US and England.
  •  how speaking up makes you 'American.’
  •  why 'You are so rude' was meant to be a compliment.
  •  

    The English for Engineers podcast is here to help engineers and technicians from all backgrounds improve their communication skills and provide them with interesting facts from side industries so Technical and Business English becomes their new superpower.
