AEE 252: How to Be Charismatic in American English

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay and Michelle discuss charisma in American English, particularly in the context of the new year and personal goals. They define charisma as a magnetic quality that attracts people and explore its importance in the U.S. compared to other cultures, like the U.K. The hosts share three key characteristics of charismatic people: exuding joy through enthusiastic expression and intonation, appearing confident without being cocky, and being great storytellers who use their voice and inflection to engage listeners. They provide specific phrases and examples for listeners to incorporate these traits into their English communication, encouraging them to connect rather than strive for perfection. The hosts also invite listeners to share their perspectives on charisma in their own cultures.
