Clear the List: April 2017

So it’s that time of the month again! No, not that time! The time when I sort my goals out and this month is going to be an exciting one…

Last Month’s Goals:

• Priority Language was Spanish and I did manage 45 minutes per day!
• Friday’s became my Mandarin Chinese Study day.
• I managed to study BSL for 2 hours per week.
• French…well I gave directions to a French tourist does that count?

This Month’s Goals:

This month I have an exciting new language learning challenge that I am taking part in! I am kick-starting Icelandic with a 28-day challenge. You can check out the full story of why here.

I am going to be fully focused on Icelandic so I will be studying no other languages for the next 28 days. This was the language that was selected by you awesome folks on social media for me to learn next. I am not familiar with this language whatsoever and will appreciate all the help and support I can get from the language learning communities.

Also this month  I am super excited to announce that I am launching my own little language learning business. I will be supporting newbie language learners via positive and cognitive psychology techniques. Sometimes we forget how to learn or the techniques we use are not efficient for us. When something does not work we run the risk of giving up. I will not let that happen, no way.

As it’s a brand new business I will be offering 20 minute motivational 1-1s on Skype pro bono!!! For more information please contact me, but there are only a limited amount of spaces.

The Biggest Lesson I Am Taking Away from Last Month:

Sometimes you just need to take a day or 2 out for reflection.
