Money, money, money... (ABBA soundtrack optional!)
|
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 quick breakdown. Traditional lessons usually follow a fixed curriculum: grammar, exercises, and the same structure for every student. Language coaching is more flexible and goal-focused. It’s tailored to your professional needs, whether that’s preparing for a presentation, improving pronunciation, or speaking more confidently in meetings. There’s also a focus on mindset: building confidence, motivation, and helping you communicate naturally and effectively in real-life situations. And yes, I know budget matters. (We all love free stuff, so check out my video below for details) It’s not about more English, it’s about using the English you already have more powerfully.

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...
