Yesterday was not easy at all… I spent 3.5 hours at the municipal office, which I thought would take only 1 hour. Meanwhile, our little Moli was fighting a fever with my mum (her grandma). I had to cancel all my afternoon lessons because Moli’s fever would not go below 38, no matter what we tried, and most of the day it was above 39. Our dad hasn’t been feeling well for a couple of days, so we decided to take him to the hospital. He was diagnosed with pneumonia. Our mum had a serious car accident on her way to a night shift in Germany. We managed to bring her home by midnight. We always try to look for the good sides, so here I go 🙂 Moli went to sleep around 11 p.m. with a temperature of 37.3 and slept quite well most of the night. At least now we have the right medicine to treat our dad. Our mum is fine. The car took all the damage. The whole family stuck together. We experienced the power of cooperation and love we have for each other, and the importance of family. I received many beautiful messages from the parents of my students (after my apology and cancellation messages). They made me realize that there are many kind and loving people around me. I know that today is going to be much better, and after some time, we will remember yesterday as a joke. I hope you guys have good days 🌞

to everybody 🥰

Thank you for filling in the Feecback Form. Read the results bellow: a) Text assignments I can see that both types of assignments work well for you. I will keep offering both: writing freely on a topic and writing sentences to practice grammar. You can choose which one to do depending on your needs and time, or do both if you like. Writing on free topics helps me see where you still need support, because I can spot areas where you can express yourself more accurately. b) Additional resources Soon, I will share reading and listening resources and it will be up to you whether you use them. Some of you suggested including reading and listening exercises in the course. I understand this, but for now, our own voice messages and text tasks can already serve as practice in a natural, organic way. Anyways, I will provide external links, and that should be enough for now before I find out a different way... c) Time management Everyone who filled in the survey confirmed that lack of time is the main reason for not doing homework regularly. Personally, I think a passive approach is the biggest challenge in learning English. That’s why this course is designed for daily practice and creating a community where we can communicate naturally. Please don’t worry about the amount of tasks—if you are short on time, choose at least one activity per day. Even sending a voice message or reading and commenting on one sentence of a classmate’s text counts and will help you progress. d) Vocabulary We will continue with 10 new words per week. I’m following your suggestion to theme the lists—this week, for example, we focus on health vocabulary. Extra note: Google Forms quizzes can be done multiple times for practice until you reach the full score. This is optional but highly recommended if you have time.

Hello everyone, Thank you very much for sending your homework from yesterday. I really enjoyed reading it! Please don’t forget to send your homework for today. I noticed that some of you read other students’ homework and write a short comment in English, and I really liked that! This is a perfect way to practice your reading and writing, and it also helps us get to know each other better. With each comment, we make our community stronger. I’m looking forward to seeing your homework and your comments 🫠
