Language learning in 2025: my year wrapped
|
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 year I focused on Spanish)
2025 language teaching
Top phrases most repeated this year:
If your business 2025 numbers feel a bit messy too, congratulations, you’re thriving in style! Let’s keep learning.....together. Tip of the monthHave you ever head of a a phrasal verb, Reader? The end of the year is a time to look back at what you've achieved, look ahead to plan new goals and look forward to new challenges. In this sentence I've used "look" three times with three different meanings. The verb (to look) stays the same, but the prepositions (back/ahead/forward) change the definition. Some more examples of phrasal verbs with look are listed below, and I challenge you to use them in English conversations next month.
December 2025Coaching cornerA moment for quiet reflection or journalling, even just thinking about your answers can help you notice patterns and shift your focus. What’s improved in your English in the last 3 months? What’s your next small, achievable goal? I hope your festive season brings joy, peace and reflection (hopefully mine will also involve eating far too many strawberry cream Quality Street chocolates, in a quintessential, pink British tradition!) Looking forward to working together in 2026. Meg P.S Don't forget my exclusive offer for newsletter subscribers is still valid until December 31st 2025. Message for more details!

Hi Reader, My baby is growing up fast (don't panic Mum, not a real human but my business), and turned 2 this month!! It feels like I've been managing MLC forever and also just a few moments, time has a strange way of creeping up on us. From on outside perspective, people often focus on what I’ve gained from living abroad, learning languages, building my own business, and creating a life where I can work from almost anywhere. The freedom. The travel. The flexibility. And while those things are...
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. Learning another language is an incredibly complex skill. You are not just memorising vocabulary or grammar. 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...
