Internal meeting (Part 2) The three attendees adopted different attitudes during the meeting. The project consultant was quite relaxed. He was sitting on the side and only interfered when something was not clear about the customer's needs or to tell an anecdote. The remainder of the time he was doodling on his smartphone. After all he does not know how to program so it is only understandable that his contribution to the meeting would not be as important. On the other hand, the junior coder seemed very nervous. His face looked bright red and he would hum at every silent moment, as if he attempted to calm himself. He accepted every correction of the senior coder without question since it was the first ever project in PL/SQL (a programming language) on which he had worked. The senior coder's attitude was the most normal, he was neither too relaxed nor nervous. He always communicated his corrections in a friendly way and did not try to belittle the junior coder. The two programmers were facing each other as they were the ones mainly talking during the meeting. Moreover, they were sitting right in front of the projector since they needed it to display the code and discuss it. As a side note, the meeting ended up lasting longer than planned because they had misunderstood the purpose of our visit. They were supposed to conduct their meeting as if we were not there, but instead they kept on explaining nearly everything about the code to us. Strangely enough it was the most nervous person, the junior coder, who talked to us the most. None of us had the courage to interrupt their explanations, which is a pity since they ended up losing even more time for us. But we are still thankful for the extra knowledge we gained. In conclusion, Siemens deals with meetings and group projects in a somewhat different way from our experience at college. The biggest difference is that no notes are taken during meetings and there is no hierarchy in group projects. Positions such as project consultant or programmer are the only quality that differentiates an employee from another. Sorry it's very long :( Thank you!

Hi! Can someone please correct my summary about an internal meeting I attended? (Part 1) On March 27, 2017, we had the opportunity to attend an internal meeting during our company visit. It was to be conducted in English specially for us. The participants in the meeting included three internal employees, namely a project consultant and two programmers. The project consultant is in touch with a customer for whom they have to create a program. Each week there is a set of subtasks that have to be completed for the progression of this program and these subtasks mostly consist in writing parts of the code and correcting bugs. One of the programmers had completed some of the subtasks, and the other was there to review his code because he is more experienced. Regarding the setting, we expected a big room and at least five attendees to occupy all Belbin team roles. Little did we know that it was going to be the complete opposite of our expectations. The meeting room was rather small, almost conveying a feeling of intimacy. There was also no chairman and none of the employees took notes of the meeting. The room was equipped with just a telephone, a projector to display code from a computer, as well as a whiteboard to eventually explain code. From all the previous we could conclude that Siemens likes to keep things as simple as possible, avoiding unnecessary use of resources. A picture of the meeting room as well as a sketch of the participant seating can be found in Appendix A of this report for further observation.

Adverb at the end of sentence? こんにちは。 There's a song that contains following lyrics: 過ちの罰はあまりにも重く Shouldn't it be 重い? And before you ask me: Yes, I'm sure the sentence is complete. Because the next one has nothing to do with it (あなたが最後に残した Words) よろしくお願いします！

あらない VS 無い こんにちは。 I've recently started learning Japanese and something triggers me about ある. All teachings say that the negative form of ある is not あらない but ない. But this saying seems incorrect to me. I think it's more correct to say that the negative is INDEED あらない but that it's NOT used, and that we use the adjective ない instead. My main argument is that there's no etymoligical link between ない (無い) and ある (有る/在る). And ある is supposed to be a regular verb, some conjugation tables show あらない as the negative form. I would like to read anyone's opinion about this. よろしくお願いします！

Is there an equivalent in English of this French adjective? I am looking for an adjective that would describe next idea: A always forgets to turn off the light when he leaves a room B once forgot to turn of the light A nags B about it In French, we would say that it's "déplacé" from A, that he should shut up because he's not better/worse. Dictionnaries give me the adjective "inappropriate" but I feel like that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I think the whole sentence should go along the lines of: "That's really [adjective] of you"
