I'm launching my newsletter.....imperfectly, on purpose
|
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.

Find a method that suits your schedule and interests, to find the joy in learning. Coaching cornerA moment for quiet reflection or journalling, even just thinking about your answers can help you notice patterns and shift your focus. When do you feel most confident using English at work? When do you feel least confident?

Hi Reader As both a language learner and coach, I’ve always felt language is about much more than grammar or pronunciation. It shapes how we connect with people, who feels included in conversations, and sometimes who doesn’t. 🌈 Since it’s Pride Month, I wanted to share something that matters to me both personally and professionally. If you’ve looked at my social media profiles before, you might have seen that I describe myself as an Inclusive Language Advocate. For me, that means trying to...
Hi Reader A recent poll I shared showed something interesting: Many people said they feel like a quieter version of themselves in another language. But I do not think this is a weakness.

You are learning new ways to express ideas, build relationships, understand culture, and see the world from different perspectives. That ability is powerful. People who speak another language often...
Hi Reader I recently had a student ask me “Is it ok to talk about that in English lessons?”. My response was of course yes! In fact, I encourage it.𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘂𝘂𝗺.
