Hi Reader,
​
Picture this: you're in a meeting, and someone asks you a question. The pressure is on, and you don't want to be caught in an awkward silence, desperately searching for the right words. I understand that fear all too well when I'm trying to find the words I need in French 😰
​
Imagine having a toolkit to retrieve words from your memory without effort, even in the heat of the moment. I've made you a guide to how your memory works and how you can use this knowledge to improve your recall. Just click here to see it.
​
You've probably heard that practice makes perfect - it's definitely true!
​
And practising in real-life situations is especially important. That's why our training programmes give you the opportunity to engage with "real people", participate in lifelike meeting simulations, or make presentations on topics relevant to you: we try our best to immerse you in authentic language environments.

Hi Reader, How do you feel when you are speaking in front of an audience in English? Whether you're answering a question in a meeting, or you're making a presentation to a room full of people, it can be really stressful! (Even in your own language it can be stressful, right? And it's even worse in a foreign language...😰) 👉 You worry that the audience is judging your mistakes or can't understand your accent.
