🧠 Confidence & Communication — What’s the real connection?

If you’re a non-native English-speaking manager, you’ve likely felt it:

👉 You know what you want to say…
But in the moment, the words vanish. Doubt creeps in. Confidence slips away.

The truth is — language and confidence are deeply connected.
How you feel when you speak matters just as much as the words you choose.

Try this 1-minute confidence reset before your next meeting:

✨ Close your eyes
✨ Inhale slowly (4 seconds)
✨ Hold (4 seconds)
✨ Exhale gently (6 seconds)
✨ Repeat 3 times

Then say quietly to yourself:
💬 “My voice matters. I speak with clarity.”

🌿 Confidence doesn’t mean speaking perfectly. It means showing up — grounded, clear, and present.

If you’re ready to feel more confident in your communication, I’d love to help.

📩 DM me anytime — let’s build that confidence together.

Have you ever wondered if the festive magic of Christmas could transform your language learning? It did for me! Let me take you back to one chilly December when I felt stuck and uninspired in my language studies. I decided to embrace the holiday spirit and experiment with writing Christmas cards in my target language, watching festive movies with subtitles, and even learning carols. To my surprise, these small steps reignited my passion and made learning fun again.

This Christmas, why not give yourself the gift of language? Tune in to Episode 60 of "111 Tips for Learning a Language" to discover how the spirit of giving, connection, and patience during the holidays can inspire your learning journey. 🎁

Tip 60 - A Christmas Special: Language Learning Lessons from the Season of Joy

二度寝

最近になって、日本も寒さを感じる日が多くなってきました。私は特に寒さに敏感で、外に出るときはもうカイロを使っています。冬になるとコンビニや100円ショップ、スーパーなどどこでもカイロをを買うことができます。日本人は小学生の頃から使っている人が多いと思います。（さすがに今使ってる人は少ないかもしれませんが、真冬には大活躍します。）ヨーロッパやアメリカでカイロは登山グッズとして分類されているようで、身近な商品じゃないと知ったとき、とても驚きました。ヨーロッパやアメリカの都市の中には私が住んでいる町よりも寒い都市がたくさんあるのにカイロがないなんて、なんて不便なんだろうと思いました。

そして、寒くなってきたのでなかなか布団から出られません。夏は毎日6時に起きて勉強していたのに今は7時から8時過ぎに起きることが多くなりました。自分で非生産的だと分かっていても布団の誘惑に負けます。来月には暖かい国に行くつもりなので、また6時に起きて勉強する習慣を復活させたいですが、しばらくは7時以降に起きる生活が続きそうです。

更に悪いことに二度寝もしてしまうんです。二度寝は一度起きたのにもかかわらず、また寝ることです。私はよく、一度起きて勉強してからまた布団に戻って30分から1時間半くらい寝てしまうんです。頭がすっきりしてとても良いんですが、午前中に二度寝してしまうことが多いので時間を無駄にした気がします。

みなさんは二度寝しますか？寒い時期をどう乗り越えていますか？是非コメントで教えてくださいね(*´▽｀*)

It's quite clear on the knowledge part but why psychology and it's importance
for any language learners?!

Today's podcast is only few minutes but it is to give you something to chew on, a birds eye view on a topic.

Psychology plays a crucial role in language learning success, impacting motivation, learning strategies, and overall proficiency. Here’s why:

1. Motivation and Self-Efficacy
2. Learning Strategies and Cognitive Processes
3. Emotional and Social Factors:
4. Error Correction and Feedback:

In summary, integrating psychological principles into language learning enhances motivation, optimizes learning strategies, manages emotional challenges, and ultimately leads to greater proficiency and success. 

It’s not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar; it’s about understanding the learner’s mind and tailoring the learning process accordingly. Therefore, in my 1-1 training classes I focus on this the majority of the time and I've completed over 20 thousand coaching calls from managers to vice presidents of huge corporations and they tell me - it works!

Come and try for yourself!
