English Outside the Box

If you are leveling up your English to reach new successes, you have likely found yourself in stressful situations. Maybe you've felt stressed using English in a job interview, with colleagues, on an exam, or in any everyday situation. What can you do with that stress? What does the science and research show? Join the conversation with Denise Funfar today, giving 2 hands-on activities to reduce stress and find more self-compassion on your language journey. English is her 2nd language, learned as a child, and later also learned to live in another language in Sweeden as an adult. She's got a relatable story and amazing advice, don't miss this episode! Meet Denise: I bridge the gap for clients interested in combining traditional and spiritual interventions for healing and growth. There is nothing I enjoy more than helping people develop a new way of relating to themselves that stems from an innate connection to their self-worth and belonging. I believe it is from this perspective that we find true fulfillment and authentic expression in both life and work. I created Conscious Core Compassion (CCC), a healing and coaching methodology to help motivated people take confident action to create a meaningful life through the use of evidence-based mind, body, and spirit intervention and intuition. My approach uncovers what the client senses but may not be consciously aware of. By teaching them how to connect to their body, soul, and deepest wisdom, we unearth what is hidden beneath the surface, revealing sub-conscious negative belief systems, conditioning, and patterning, as well as suppressed emotions that are having a negative impact on their life. We access the unconscious influences, make them conscious and compassionately process them in the here and now.

Do you often see “speak like a native speaker” lessons and videos in your social media feeds and suggested posts? Do you want to know why you should avoid these lessons, and how they can actually be hurting your English progress and proficiency? On today’s episode, I talk about 3 reasons to avoid “speak like a native” type of lessons, the ones focusing on vocabulary you “should” use to sound more advanced or the “better” vocabulary to use. I talk about why these types of “use this instead of that” type lessons can actually do the opposite of what you want, easy conversations. I talk about why it’s a waste of time and energy, and I even share a little research I did on my own with family and friends…all native speakers. Love what you heard?

In season 2's first interview, I am so excited to chat with Teacher Paula Gabriela, a fellow English teacher, and a comedic genius using comedy and a lot of fun to support English learners. In this episode, we talk about using your native language as a tool, English being a bridge for connection, the myth of learning "like a native", trusting your teacher, and her tips for being successful in English. It's a longer-than-usual episode, but worth every minute of truth and fun we share. One of my favorite takeaways was her truth about the goal of language learning being communication. Enjoy!
