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

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...
