Inglés laboral de RR. HH. en una reunión sobre aquisición de empresa

Ahí va un ejemplo real de una alumna, Alba, jefa de RR. HH. y alumna de Easyworld Academy. Ella necesita hablar sobre los derechos que tiene un empleado durante una adquisición. ¡A disfrutar y aprender! VER PDF CON ACTIVIDADES: EP4_Alba_Employee_Transfers_Resources.docx TRANSCRIPCIONES BLOQUE 1 — ORIGINAL (~40 s) ------------------------------------------------------------ Follow the labor law legislation when a company sells their business, the employees are subrogated to the buyer company. If the employee refuses be transferred, legally this situation is considering a resignation by the employee. So, we don’t have to pay any severance or terminate indemnity to employees. The company have to pay the severance only in case of definitive closure of the business or company closure but if you transfer the activity you transfer the employees and you don’t have to pay any severance. ------------------------------------------------------------ PARTE 2 — CORRECCIONES (~55 s) ------------------------------------------------------------ [warmly] Vamos a ver cinco cosas de ese texto. La primera, y la mas importante en una reunion: "the employees are subrogated to the buyer". Subrogated es un falso amigo. En ingles se usa en seguros y en deuda, no en derecho laboral. Lo correcto es "the employees transfer automatically to the buyer". La segunda: "this situation is considering a resignation". Ahi necesitas la voz pasiva. [thoughtfully] "Is considering" significa que la situacion esta considerando algo. Lo que quieres decir es "is treated as a resignation". La tercera: "definitive closure". Definitivo en ingles es permanent. "Definitive" significa concluyente. La cuarta: "refuses be transferred". Falta la preposicion. Refuse siempre lleva "to": refuses to transfer. Y la quinta: "the company have to pay". Company es singular. Pero en registro formal queda mejor evitar el sujeto: "severance is only payable". ------------------------------------------------------------ PARTE 3 — VERSION CORREGIDA (~40 s) ------------------------------------------------------------ [thoughtfully] Under Moroccan labour law, when a company sells its business, the employees transfer automatically to the buyer. If an employee refuses to transfer, that refusal is legally treated as a resignation. In that case, we are not required to pay severance or any termination payment. [warmly] Severance is only payable if the business closes permanently. If the activity is transferred, the employees transfer with it — and no severance is due.

Hearing Yourself in Perfect English (C1 class with Enrique)

Erica and Enrique react to hearing the podcast for the first time — and what it feels like to hear your own ideas spoken back in fluent English. Plus: three common mistakes Spanish speakers make, explained simply. A real conversation, native speaker voices, ~90 seconds. Link to full transcripts and activities --> EP3_June 9th 2026_Hearing_Yourself_Resources Part 2 — Enhanced Transcript & Corrections The same conversation rewritten with native-level vocabulary, grammar and expression. Each correction is explained below. Enrique: I was reading your Word document yesterday. I spent some time going through it and I'm genuinely blown away by what the AI produced. Incredible. Enrique: How long did it take you to put this together? Eric: Honestly — once I get the workflow sorted, maybe five minutes. Enrique: That's amazing. So on Friday when I got your email, I was listening to the podcast. And honestly, the first time was a strange experience — I was listening to my own ideas, spoken back in someone else's voice. And I found it really interesting, because I don't speak with that kind of accent or that level of expression. But there were my ideas, in perfect English. Eric: Well — isn't that exactly what you asked for? Enrique: Yes! Exactly. And the exercises were incredibly helpful too. The whole result was beyond what I expected. -------------------- Corrections explained Original: I was reading yesterday your Word document Why it changed: Word order. In English: Subject + Verb + Object + Time. Time expressions like 'yesterday' go at the end, not in the middle. Original: I was listening the podcast / listening my ideas Why it changed: The verb 'listen' always needs the preposition 'to'. You listen TO music, TO a podcast, TO someone. Original: So I was curious Why it changed: False friend. 'Curious' in English means you want to know more about something. When something surprises or impresses you, use 'interesting' or 'fascinating' instead.

Receiving Feedback (C1 class with Enrique)

Eric(a) and Enrique talk about the importance of feedback when learning a language — and why too much correction at once can actually slow you down. Plus: the difference between "funny" and "fun." A real conversation, native speaker voices, 90 seconds. Link to full transcripts and activities --> EP2_Receiving_Feedback_Resources.docx Part 2 — Enhanced Transcript & Corrections The same conversation rewritten with native-level vocabulary, grammar and expression. Each correction is explained in the table below. Enrique: Feedback is crucial — you can't keep making the same mistake if no one points it out. But there's a balance. If someone corrects you constantly for an hour straight, it's going to wear you down. A bit goes a long way. Eric: Totally. And it's not just about telling someone they're wrong — it's about guiding them in the right direction without crushing their confidence. Enrique: Exactly. And funny and fun, by the way — I still mix those up sometimes. Eric: Ha — I noticed. Funny means something makes you laugh; fun means you enjoy it. The weekend trip sounds like it was both! Enrique: Yes — it was definitely fun. And funny too, actually, because we came seventh out of nine. Eric: Seventh? Out of nine? Okay, so... that's still pretty competitive. Enrique: Only two below us! We prefer to focus on that. Corrections explained Original You cannot stay committing the same mistake every day Why it changed 'Stay committing' is not natural English. 'Keep making' is the correct structure. Original I prefer to dedicate to use this time in another things Why it changed 'Dedicate to use' is incorrect. 'I'd rather' is more natural. 'Another things' → 'other things'. Original You cannot stay one hour correcting the other person Why it changed 'Stay one hour correcting' → 'spend a whole hour correcting'. Standard English structure. Original This is gonna frustrate the other person Why it changed 'Gonna' replaced with 'going to'. 'Wear you down' is more idiomatic than 'frustrate'. Original It's not the same funny and fun Why it changed Word order corrected. 'It's not the same funny and fun' is unclear — rewritten for natural flow.

Talent vs. Effort (C1 class with Enrique)

In this episode, Eric(a) and Enrique discuss whether talent or consistent effort matters more when learning a language. A real conversation, native speaker voices, 57 seconds. Link to activities --> EP1_Easyworld_Talent_vs_Effort_Resources Part 1 — Raw Transcript 06:40 Enrique G.: I think the best way to improve in something is to dedicate time and to put all your efforts as much as possible in this new skill you are trying to get. 07:28 Eric P.: I agree with you with the effort. I was talking with my wife about effort, because my older son is — well, we talked about this talent versus effort. My older son is very talented. 07:35 Enrique G.: Yeah. 07:39 Eric P.: He's very smart. 07:40 Enrique G.: Hmm. 07:40 Eric P.: Like... 07:41 Enrique G.: Hmm. So is what we talk, it's not a matter or it's not a matter of dedicating more or less time. If you are talented, you will need less time than a person that is not so talented. 07:43 Eric P.: But anyway, but yeah, effort. 07:57 Enrique G.: So it's just… it's just a matter of time of dedicating more or less time to something. Part 2 — Enhanced Transcript & Corrections The same conversation is rewritten with native-level vocabulary, grammar and expression. Each correction is explained in the table below. Enrique: I'm not sure it's purely about effort though. If you're talented, you'll get there faster. Ultimately, it all comes down to how much time you're willing to put in — but talent does give you a head start. Eric: That's fair. My older son is incredibly bright — everything seems to come easily to him. Enrique: Right, so for someone like him, the same amount of practice will take him further than it would someone who has to work harder for it. It's just the reality. Eric: Yeah, I guess effort and talent are both in the mix. But I still believe consistent effort beats raw talent in the long run. Enrique: I'd agree with that. Consistency is what I'd say I have more of than talent, honestly. Part 3 - Corrections explained Original I think the best way to to improve in something is to To dedicate time Why it changed Repeated words removed. 'Improve in' → 'improve at'. Cleaner sentence structure. Original to put all your efforts as much as possible in this new skill Why it changed 'Efforts' (plural) → 'effort' (uncountable). 'In' → 'into'. More natural word order. Original It's not a matter or it's not a matter of dedicating more or less time Why it changed Repetition removed. 'It comes down to' is the natural English idiom here. Original If you are talented, you will need less time than a person that is not so talented Why it changed Simplified. 'A person that is not so talented' is wordy — cut entirely. Original It's just a matter of time of dedicating more or less time to something Why it changed 'Time of dedicating more or less time' — redundant. Rewritten cleanly.
