Hi Reader I encourage my students to speak English before they're fully confident, because trying is better than waiting for a perfect moment. Progress > perfection (Newsflash: you will never feel 100% ready!) So, without feeling 100% ready, I'm launching my newsletter to practise what I teach. Thanks for joining me for the ride, Reader. I want to write real, human content that makes you excited to learn and helps you in your journey to fluency because the world doesn't need more AI content or inauthentic messages filling our inbox. Once a month, I'll be sprinkling your day with a little bit of pink and practical tips to boost your English. Expect quick updates from Mega Language Coach and real resources to support your learning journey... short and sweet, because your time is valuable. Tip of the monthThis month, I've been focussing a lot on pronunciation with many clients, particularly the vowel sounds which are not always said as they are written. Notice the difference between the short /i/, and the long /i:/ sound in many English words. Practice the difference by saying the following pairs out loud, and see how your mouth shape changes:

Hi Reader I hope you've had a serene September. As my Mexican adventure finishes and I prepare for the next chaper, I want to share some reflections which may be useful in your own journey. "Oh the places you'll go" by Dr Seuss is a book that I loved as a child, even before I could read it myself. (I've heard rumours of a film adaptation coming soon, which will be a great chance to practice English comprehension!) This book taught me that we don't know where we will go in the future, and to...
Hi Reader As we pack away the sun cream and unleash a new set of pens ready for back to school, I want to talk about fake progress in language learning. (I do miss the days of new highlighters, notebooks and sharp pencils as September begins!) Sometimes it feels like we’re doing everything right: watching films with subtitles, listening to podcasts on the way to work, highlighting useful words in news articles, taking lessons regularly.
