April Fools expressions you might actually hear at work
|
Hi Reader, As we step into Spring, this newsletter will hopefully be the last one sent from England for a while, as I start a new Spanish adventure. I'll be joining you again as a language learner, ready to navigate new vocabulary and cultural quirks, so stay tuned! One of my favourite things about learning languages is the unusual and entertaining tradtions that are part of each culture. For example, in France and Italy children stick paper fish on people’s backs as a prank (April Fish). In Switzerland, a local newspaper reported that the city had introduced chocolate parking tickets that could be eaten. May this newsletter serve as your friendly reminder of upcoming April Fool's Day jokes and office pranks (you were warned!) Tip of the monthHave you used these phrases in a conversation, Reader? Try one to sound more natural this month.

Do I say the country I was born in, the one on my passport, or the city I currently call home? Do I define myself by the languages I speak, the cultures I’ve absorbed, or the people I’ve connected with along the way? I’ve never felt like I fully belonged to one box, one label, or one place. Instead, my identity is shaped by movement, curiosity,...
Hi Reader Writing this newsletter has got the ABBA soundtrack on repeat in my head, so apologies in advance (it's always sunny in a rich man's world!) January is often a time when people set resolutions and focus on their financial goals for the upcoming year. Maybe language learning becomes less of a priority, as you start to tighten your belt (see explanation below). So if you’ve ever wondered what language coaching actually means and why it may cost more than language lessons, here’s a...
Hi Reader Where on earth did this year go? One moment I was watching new year fireworks on a beach in Mexico, the next I'm looking for batteries for my childhood Christmas decorations back in the UK! Whilst it's easy to look ahead and make goals for next year, I like to take time in December to look back and reflect on the highs and lows of the year. Today I'm sharing some of my statistics with you, and would love you to get involved by replying with yours too. 2025 language learning (this...
