Hello there:)


I would like to wish you a very happy New Year and I hope it will
be filled with unexpected, beautiful surprises.


Saturday we met for our monthly Conversation
Class and we discussed some of our goals for
2021, including our English goals (in
my case German goals;). And at the end of the exercise I asked
everyone to find one word that would guide them through this next
year. These are some of the wonderful words that
came up in the session: balance, trust, patience, clarity,
healing, learn - to name but a few.


Thinking about your English and staying connected to English, I'd
like to suggest the word: JOURNEY.


It's often easy to forget that learning and maintaining another
language is actually a journey. A journey with words. A journey
with yourself as you explore what you sound like in a different
language and how it influences your thinking. A journey takes
time. Learn to love the frustrations and the excitement along the
way.


If you'd like to explore your goals for this year, for your life
and for English, there will be 2 Vision Board Workshops
running on 22nd January from 2pm-5pm and on the 5th February from
4pm-7pm.


This is such a powerful way to learn vocabulary
because you can see it visually and you can immediately associate
a strong emotion to it. Strong emotions are
needed in order to remember new words more
successfully. Emotions send memories into your long term
memory in your brain.
