Two helpful questions for you today
|
Hi Reader, It's the weekend and boy am I glad! It's been a busy week, hasn't it? I think these two questions will help you with your English practice: ***The two best questions I've read all week! James Clear's email newsletter is great for reading practice. It's usually short but filled with great ideas to read and think about. If you scroll to the bottom of this post you'll see a great question to think about! It's easy to focus on the bad things that happened to you this week with your English skills. But what went well as you prepared for the CELPIP or worked on your English? Remember: Like James Clear points out, small wins stack up! This is true with your English skills too! 2. Are you spending enough time outside of your comfort zone? This great question is also at the bottom of the post I'm linking to from James Clear's newsletter. (I know...I like sharing and talking about Clear's work.) But he has great ideas that I think will help you as you work on your English skills. In this post he makes a great observation about what you can do to learn faster - and it totally applies to building your English and CELPIP skills! Check it out. Upcoming Class: See you next Wednesday, February 12 at 6pm PST for our next class. Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend. Aaron |

And darker in the morning when you get up to head to work? I've noticed it. And then...the cold. Have you noticed that happening yet? Dang. The cold is coming. The dark is...
Hello Reader, Writer and speaker John Maxwell once said, "You'll never find the right answers if you're asking the wrong questions." And I've got a great frequently asked 'wrong question' to share with you today: "How long should I practice for the CELPIP before I take it?" And another popular one: "How long is long enough to practice my English for?" The answer? It's not about how long you need or should be practicing. It's how frequently are you practicing? Frequency matters FAR MORE than...
Hello Reader, Well, this is embarrassing! My email sent with the wrong info in it, so I'm resending to fix it. (I'm so sorry for the duplicate message today - here is the right one.) Getting stuck at any score on the CELPIP can be a mighty tough situation to be in, because stuck usually means you've had multiple attempts at breaking free, but they didn't work. Worse? What if your reading, writing, and listening scores were all high, and it was all because of your speaking results that you...
