Psychological Training for Language Learners (IELTS, Job Interviews, Confidence Building).

I started this recording with IELTS learners; however, it's something that ALL language learners CAN benefit from NOW.

It is something that isn't talked about by English teachers (very few teachers do), the psychological aspects of success behind IELTS speaking, job interview successes, and confident communication in English or other languages.

It is something about your head—how you think, feel, see, and hear; therefore, how you interpret reality—that is the key, the essential ingredient for a language learner's success and life overall.

Please allow me to guide you along the process of softening towards your goals (sometimes people are too strict and too intense about it).

My voice is gentle and deep, which will help you relax and feel at ease.

Enjoy the journey and have fun.

If you'll resonate with some of my ideas and you'll feel compelled to book my class, do so; no hesitation is needed; you are in safe hands with me.

Be well and feeeeel good now...

Beefie Brain Slang 

日本の一番南に、沖縄（おきなわ）という県があります。ビーチリゾートで、日本語のテキストにもよく出てくる、有名な島です。けれども、実は戦争のあとの27年間、日本ではなくアメリカの島でした。そんな「オキナワ」が日本の「沖縄」にもどった日。それが50年前の5月15日です。今月は、お祝いのムードがあって、とてもいい感じ。たぶん今年中、続くでしょう。私は沖縄人（ウチナーンチュ）ではありませんが、沖縄の皆さんを尊敬しています。だから記念に、アルゼンチンで感じた「沖縄の思い出」を書いておこうと思います。
