Hello there!
Hi, I’m Cathal. I’m Irish, and I mostly teach Spanish speakers. Have lived in Mexico and Galicia, Spain, but, as I married a Swede, I live, alas, in Sweden (a terrible place for an English teacher, language learner, or chatty person to live — but, on the other hand, a great place for parents of a toddler and a baby. Swings and roundabouts). I speak decent Spanish, choppy, often incoherent, Swedish and, despite growing up surrounded by farmers and livestock in the west of Ireland, speak English without much of an Irish accent (this is at least what I get told in the west of Ireland and Sweden). I write a Substack which applies performance psychology to language teaching and language learning. It’s called The Performing Mind. Since mid-August it’s been on a hiatus as I’ve been dedicating all my spare time to building a pronunciation course. Apart from my regular students, I currently have one guinea pig client I’m experimenting the materials on, and the first client expecting a coherent course is signed up to start on the days after Christmas. I have the skeleton of the course created, but I feel like I still have so much to learn. That’s why I’m taking the Speaking, Pronunciation and Autonomy Course, and why I’m looking forward to the discussions on the boards. And why pronunciation? Why am I making that my niche? Well, because it’s arguably the most psychologically enigmatic aspect of foreign language speaking, and so, to me, it’s the most fascinating.

Knowing your students video
I'm taking a look at this video and find myself feeling bad about recently losing a client because I did not know him well enough, and pushed him a little too hard and he panicked and ended the lessons. This was absolutely not a linguistic issue; it had to do with the anxiety provoked when trying to speak English in conversation. The first half of our lessons were always me talking him down from the anxiety that I think was largely provoked by his perfectionism, and I had to continually emphasize that there is no perfect communication so he needed to accept that he could make mistakes but still communicate what he needed to communicate. Unfortunalely I misjudged this on one occasion and his anxiety was provoked in a way that he found unbearable, and so I lost a client and my guess is that he has abandoned English altogether :(x2 I'm currerntly floundering a bit with another client, but now am getting down on paper exactly what I know about his needs (probably still not enough) after about 10 hours of lessons together, and am going to try to apply the info in this video to our situation and see if I can be as precise as possible about it. Both of these guys are my "target audience" if that's the right phrase, though I also need to be more precise about what that means.

Have you also waited for the perfect moment? Do you resonate with what we experienced? Are you trapped in the consumption wheel?
