🔴  LIVE MASTERCLASS Elevate Your English: The 3 Foundations of Enhanced Confidence and Fluency for Articulate Communication When: Thursday, 1 Feb 2024 at 1 PM (CST) > > Please check your local time zone for the time to join based on your location Recently I came across this article in the BBC Brazil website about how a lack of independence is what could be behind the mental health crisis in today's youth, according to a US psychologist.  I'm sharing the screenshot because: 1) it's a good example of how I access information that would not have been available if I hadn't created and implemented systems to nurture and develop my Portuguese skills, and 2) my upcoming LIVE Masterclass is all about going to the roots of true confidence, fluency and articulate communication, rather than trying to find a quick-fix to remedy their insufficiency.

How Did English Become Today's Global Language of Business? An English History and Vocabulary Lesson

Image
  It's often the case that we get so caught up in ( an idiom meaning to become involved in or preoccupied by something, or to be completely busy or absorbed in something ) the urgency of our daily activities or in the pointless scrolling on social media, that we don't grant ourselves the time to enjoy and learn from content that helps us understand - in this case - a fascinating link between the past and the present. In this week's video , we travel back in time to the year 1066, a very important date in the history of English. Do you know why? Watch to learn the fascinating facts that changed the fate of England and the English language forever, and how the latter ( the second mentioned of two things ) was rescued more than 300 years later. English rose like a phoenix from the ashes ( to emerge from a disaster or crisis stronger and more powerful ) and established itself as the global language of business and social interaction between speakers of different languages tha...

  If someone asked you how many things you do to develop your English language skills, how many items would there be on your list? The most common way of improving a language skill is to start taking formal lessons, but there are many informal ways of learning and practising English that you might not be aware of. In  this week's video , I interview my polyglot friend and colleague Heriberto Díaz, Head of Languages at CIDE, a top Latin American think tank, on the topic of language learning. Watch as we discuss the many creative ways Heriberto has adopted to continue developing his many language skills! What concrete, informal, everyday actions, from the ones he mentions, can you take and implement in your own life to become more confident and fluent in English? See you in the comments on YouTube, where you can practise your writing skills!

If you think the only options to realise your true English potential are limited to restarting formal lessons or employing a private teacher, this message is for you! Conventional learning options require setting specific time aside from your already busy schedule and committing to attend lessons and do homework. But we now know that developing confidence and fluency in English depends on 2 foundations that require a different approach. In this week's video, we unveil the 2 fundamental conditions for effective language transformation, especially if: 👉 you've been an "English learner" for years but don't feel like you're learning anything new or improving your skills, or 👉 you want to take your English to the next level but don't know how Watch it here I hope you enjoy it and I'll see you in the YouTube comments section or on a 1:1 Co...
