It's All About THIS!

 


Many people who want to improve their English skills report that they have no one to practise with, which prevents them from making progress. Others say that they cannot attend regular English lessons because of their busy lifestyle, and that they need something different, versatile and flexible.


When I created my English training program aimed at helping professionals who have already reached an independent user level (B2 - C1), I took this incredibly important feedback into account and suddenly had a vision of how it would work.


Earlier this week we were joined by a program member who hadn't attended the live calls in over a year. When she joined, her idea was to apply for a teaching and research position at a university in the US, and we worked together for some time in attaining that goal, but then she stopped attending. In this week's session, she explained that she had decided not to follow up on (phrasal verb - to pursue or investigate something further) that intention, as it would have implied too much upheaval (noun - /ʌpˈhiːvᵊl/ - a violent or sudden change or disruption to something) for herself and her family to move abroad permanently.


Now, however, she's just accepted a teaching position in a prestigious Institute in Spain to teach a 2-week course to international MA students (in English) on the topic of sociology of law, and she rejoined the program to help her prepare for the role.


What a win-win!


As lifetime members, clients get to (phrasal verb - to have an opportunity to do something) brush up on (phrasal verb - improve one's previously good knowledge of or skill at a particular thing) their English skills by returning to the program at any time, according to their needs, and the program itself is enriched by a growing and fascinating community of people from all walks of life who contribute their real-life knowledge and expertise to the weekly live conversations. 


I honestly cannot think of a better way of improving your English than by joining a program that offers a blended solution to language development consisting of self-access and live components, as well as lifetime admission, which allows you the flexibility to work on your English at your own pace and according to your schedule and availability.

Discover the Benefits of Joining a Book Club in English

  The CET Book Club is starting soon! And what could be a better way of starting a Book Club in English -  for speakers of other languages at intermediate (B1) level or above -  than by reading the transformational gem,  The Art of Communicating , by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, live on zoom together? Very often, students and clients report that although they understand it very well, they feel stuck, anxious or unable to communicate in English satisfactorily, leading to a strong sense of loss of opportunity in their professional contexts. Part of the reason for this might be what I refer to as  undernourished English , that is, insufficient exposure to English through reading and listening.  The CET Book Club in English will address this directly by offering you the opportunity to develop your English language skills through the option of reading the corresponding chapter first, and then by following the transcript as you listen to one of us reading it out loud live during our weekly me

The MBA and the Eight Worldly Winds

  I completed the Inner MBA over the weekend!  Well done, me! ⭐️ But wait! Don't go. Before clicking "Like" and moving on, read about how earning this Certificate is interconnected with The Eight Worldly Winds . What are The Eight Worldly Winds? According to Buddhist teachings, our human nature necessarily means that we will all experience, at one time or another, being " blown about " (that's deeply affected in the moment) by the Eight Worldly Winds (or Conditions): gain and loss status and disgrace (or success and failure) praise and censure (or praise and blame) pleasure and pain This is great news when the Winds brings gain, status/success, praise and pleasure, but not so good when they carry loss, disgrace/failure, censure/blame, or pain. We all try to find ways of reducing our distress when the winds of the world bring devastating storms of suffering to our doorstep. It is our natural instinct to protect ourselves from the pain of the four (unpleasant

La meditación - preguntas y respuestas

Image
La intención es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboración entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podrían surgir en relación a la práctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales trataré de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero además me encantaría que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, trataré de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿Cómo funciona y para qué sirve la meditación? Bueno, es importante aclarar que aunque hayan muchos beneficios, los practicantes no meditamos con ese fin, o sea que al sentarnos no hay una meta por alcanzar, sino que nos sentamos porque disfrutamos de hacerlo. Simple y sencillamente, meditamos porque nos gusta. Lo cual no significa que no resulten importantes beneficios . Al contrario, la práctica de la meditación es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son múltiples y de gran profundidad - científicamente compr
