As the world becomes more international, the amount of immigration is also increasing. In Canada, an officially multicultural country, more than 200 thousands of people immigrate to Canada every year. Since the immigration act was adopted in 1869, Canada accepted immigrants from all over the world, and now there are more than 200 races of people living in Canada. Canada attracts people who would like to assimilate with its equality, solid health care system, high level of educational standards and beautiful nature. But there are positive points and negative aspects to accepting large number of immigrants to be Canadian. Here are some opinions: Pros: – Enhancement of cultural exchange – Increase of population – Growth in economy – Increase of international competition Cons: – Financial burden – Racial problems – Risk of cultural devastation – Illegal immigration Even though there are positive points and negative points, Canadian multinationalism has enormous appeal for people around the world, and the amount of immigration is still increasing. Often described as a cultural mosaic, various cultures, languages, and races all co-exist in Canadian society, and it have built Canada its own identity.

There is a Japanese proverb “The eyes say more than the mouth”. It means eyes show one’s real feelings, and it is more trustworthy than spoken words. According to a professor of Psychology at UCLA, when there is an inconsistency between verbal information and non-verbal information, people tend to believe non-verbal information rather than verbal information. For example, if someone says “It was really nice to meet you today” with a frown face, most people will feel that he/she is not happy. Verbal communication is simple. It is divided by just spoken words and written words, but non-verbal communication is more complicated. Here are some examples: Body Language and Posture: Gesture, Attitude, Behavior, Body movement etc. Facial Expression: Smile, Frown, Eye Gaze (Hold, or avoid eye contact), etc. Voice tone: Tone of voice, pitch, etc. Appearance: Height, weight, clothing, hairstyle etc. In this way, non-verbal communication is important in face-to-face communication. It is beneficial to be aware of non-verbal communication when you would like to leave someone with a positive impression. Verbal communication is also essential in our daily life and businesses. Here at LingoStar, we provide various types of services related to languages. Call us today or send us an email for a free...
If you are interested in language, you may have heard about the language “Esperanto”. Esperanto is the world’s most successful constructed language created by Polish linguist L. L. Zamenhof. The name “Esperanto” derives from his pen name “Dr. Esperanto” when he presented the language in 1887. It is said that there are almost two million Esperanto speakers (called Esperantisto) around the world. Esperanto does not intend to overtake other native languages. It aims to become an international auxiliary language, which is used as a second language for people all over the world. Here are some examples of Esperanto words: • Jes (Yes) • Ne (No) • Saluton (Hello) • Dankon (Thank you) • Ne dankinde (You’re welcome): • Mia nomo estas … (My name is …) As you see, Esperanto uses the Latin Alphabet. Also, because 80% of the words are originated from Latin-Romance origin, most vocabularies look similar to other languages such as Spanish, French, or German. Esperanto can be learned much easier than other languages. For example, the accent of words always exist on the second last vowel. All common nouns finish with –o, adjectives finish with –a, adverbs finish with –e. Furthermore, there are no irregular conjugations of noun (such as go-went-gone), and there are no gender of nouns in Esperanto. Because Esperanto has no cultural background and it has quite a few native speakers, it has not become one of the major languages in the world. The process of Esperanto to become an ideal second language for people around the world is still underway. Here are Lingostar, we offer translation and voiceover services in over...

As we have explained in previous blog and newsletter articles, language exists in different forms. These forms include body language, sign language and verbal language. Language helps us to communicate. Today’s blog is about communication, and to be more precise, communication in customer service. Communication between customers and service providers should not be underestimated. After all, your customers are the most valuable asset in your company. Without them, your business does not exist. Luckily, it’s quite easy to keep and make new costumers, with a little effort! Good communication and positive language is the key to outstanding customer service. Costumers like to be praised and to feel appreciated, and there are many ways that you can give these good feelings to your clients. Firstly, you should listen: pay attention to what they are saying and identify their needs. Always find a way to compliment them and thank them every time the opportunity presents itself. Make them feel important and don’t hesitate to use their name when addressing them as it gives them the impression that you are treating them as an individual and not as ‘one of the customers’. Secondly, always put your clients first. Know how to keep control of your emotions. Working in customer service is not always easy. Sometimes, the customer might be wrong, but no matter what, they must always be right! Learn to apologize. It’s not that hard, and clients love it, it gives them a sense of power. And, even if you might not always like it, take their complaints and bad comments as a constructive way to improve your services. Finally, always...
