Friday Q&A is back! Going to kee it a shorter one but throughout the day you will find fun questions to answer in my stories to help improve your English. You can also ask me questions 😊

🎥 GUESS WHO IS BACK?? 🎥

I am back with a new video on YouTube: five phrases you should never say in American English (that were once considered ok to say!)

What do you want to see next?

Do you have main character energy? 😜 ⭐️

New content calendar coming soon! Stay tuned 👀

After a week off we will continue reading the introduction to James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” today at 21.00! If you’re available, please join me live on Instagram! That’s Central European Time so 15.00 for EST 😉

Saying “Bible” at the end of your sentence means you’re telling the truth in modern English slang (like you swear on the Bible).

Every Friday I share a Q&A in my stories. Starting at 9am and sporadically throughout the day until about 9pm (Central European Time) I post open questions, polls, quiz questions and trivia. Join the fun! Some of the answers are shared in the evening and Saturday. 😊

Throwback Thursday!

I’ve had a lot of great feedback on Tongue Twister Tuesday so for today’s throwback video I want to share one I made of 5 fun tongue twisters! I hope you enjoy! 👅 🌪️

Hey everyone! My workload is too high to take a livestream break today at lunchtime so I will skip today and be back next week for chapter one! Feel free to watch last week’s Atomic Habits live read with me on IG or YouTube if you missed it 😊 📚

Cancel culture (or being canceled) refers to a movement where the general public decided to boycott a person or brand due to something they said or did.

Do you know of anyone or any brands that were “canceled”?

Wednesday Read with me Announcement: I will do the next Wednesday Read with me livestream at the same time as last week, which was 12.15 Central European Time (Amsterdam local) while on my lunch break. It will last around 15 to 30 minutes. Hope to see you there as we dive into Atomic Habits by James Clear!

STOP worrying about how far you still have to go. STOP comparing your progress to others. START enjoying the process. START rewarding the small wins along the way.

Think back to the process of learning your first language as a baby. Did you learn 800 words a day and formulate perfect sentences? No. It was a process over time. A journey. A second language is no different. It takes times and consistent exposure/communication in the language to get it right.

Have a great Saturday everyone!
