Oh the places you'll go....
|
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 embrace rather than fear this unknown. I encourage a similar open-mindedness in my clients, because no skill, job, or experience is ever wasted. Whether it's online courses, volunteering, networking, or travel, there is always value and chance to grow. The key lesson I’ve learned is to stay open to new opportunities.... you never know where they might lead! Tip of the monthI want to teach or remind you of an idiom: "off the beaten path" This refers to a place, activity, or idea that is unusual, unconventional, or not commonly known. For example, you might be looking for a restaurant that isn't on a major tourist map, so we would describe it as off the beaten path. In business, the idiom could refer to an entrepreneurial venture that operates in a niche market or location, rather than a mainstream one.

Where do you want to be in 6 months? These thoughts could relate to language learning, travelling, personal development or something different that is important for you at this time. Don't be afraid to go off the beaten path with new opportunities in the next month. Remember the wise words of Dr Seuss.....will you succeed Reader? Yes. You will, indeed: 98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed! Meg P.S In my lessons, I create a safe, welcoming space for feedback and suggestions, and I want the same for this newsletter. Let me know what you'd love to see more (or less) of. I’m listening. Fully certified Business English coach

"Where are you from, Reader?" It’s a simple question on the surface, but for many of us with international lives, it’s anything but straightforward. 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...
