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 As we pack away the sun cream and unleash a new set of pens ready for back to school, I want to talk about fake progress in language learning. (I do miss the days of new highlighters, notebooks and sharp pencils as September begins!) Sometimes it feels like we’re doing everything right: watching films with subtitles, listening to podcasts on the way to work, highlighting useful words in news articles, taking lessons regularly. Yet there is still no real change in confidence. No big...
Hi Reader Well it's not actually my birthday, but I celebrated the first year of MLC this month (with cake of course!) It feels strange to write because I've been teaching English for over 10 years for other language schools and companies. One year ago, I went all in with my own business. In the same week, I travelled to Mexico, became a digital nomad and launched Mega Language Coach. Whether you call it bold or a little bit crazy, I knew I was ready for a change. Since then, I’ve taught...
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...
