No shame!

written by Francisco Sanjurjo

Let’s talk about shame. Shame is one of the most dangerous enemies when learning a language. It can make you give up, it can make you go slower than you could, it could prevent you from using what you know. It can freeze you.

I want to send this message out: there are many things that can get in the way, but do not let shame get in the way of improving your english skills. It does not matter if you are one of my current students, a former student or you are thinking of becoming one. Or maybe you just landed on this post while browsing. If you need to ask anything about English, please, by all means do. Whatever worries you, no matter how silly it might sound.

“I am ashamed because I should know by now.” To hell with that. If you do not know, whatever the reason, ask. Even if the reason is that you were too lazy to take notes in that class you took.  Put that behind you, make a ball with your shame and throw it away.

I want this to be your safe place for all things english. No purchase required – it would be nice, though. Just drop a line and tell me your English worries.

Missing summer already? Plan next summer!

written by Francisco Sanjurjo

Look back on your holidays this year. Did you have any? Even if you did not, maybe next year it will be different. If you did, what would you change about them? Did you travel within the country? Or did you travel abroad?

Maybe you stayed put because money was tight. Then maybe you should make an investment – big or small – on upgrading your skills, with a view to getting that pay rise. Or travelling abroad. Or whatever your goals are. Short term, long term… it doesn’t really matter!

Planning ahead is a good idea. Always. So if you had plans to do something about your English, get in contact! If you didn’t have any plans, just think about it. Get in shape for next summer. Summer does not necessarily mean the one in the calendar. It could be the next great job opportunity, that might escape you if your skills are not ready (including job interview skills). It could be missing the love of your life because you do not have a common language to speak in. It could be not feeling lost and having a better experience in travelling abroad – for work or for leisure.

Write down your goals, your dreams and see what you can do about them. And if it involves English, drop me a line!

Face-to-face or Online?

written by Francisco Sanjurjo

You have a busy life. You have shifting timetables, unscheduled, last-minute meetings. Maybe you still prefer the warmth of face-to-face classes. Maybe you travel around the world across multiple time-zones. Or maybe you just have time at the weekends when you are in your house in a village (but you have WIFI!)

Looking for options that fit your unpredictable life? Get in touch here.
