English is fun. English is crazy. English is weird. Sometimes, if you change one word, you change everything. For example, yesterday my inbox shared this with me – ‘I’m really interesting in English. Can you help me?’ I am sure that person was interesting. She’s probably a very interesting person. But was she interesting…in English? […]
It’s so confusing, right? I get this question a lot… Why is it ‘in the car’ but ‘on the plane’? And what about the bus? The bike? And yes…even the submarine? (I don’t know how many of you commute by submarine, but I don’t want to exclude anyone, of course!) Let me help you figure […]
Sad and true story. I posted this nearly 5 years ago, but it’s even more valid today. I had to share this again as this is something I’ve been working intensely on with a few clients this year. I was on my way home from a TED event, feeling so inspired, motivated, and in love […]
I just got back from Brussels where I spent a few days recording with the Belgian band Hooverphonic. You can see some behind the scenes shots and even see what my studio pronunciation coaching looks like here. My job as an English coach is to make you feel like a rock star, whether it’s in […]
Well hello there, lovely you! Have you kissed the mirror lately? You should! So…guess what? I love what I do and I am so grateful to be the English coach to some pretty special people. For the past decade I’ve been working as a volunteer for TEDxAmsterdamWomen, helping global thought leaders and pioneers share and […]
I cannot believe it. There are less than 100 days left for 2019. Say what? How did that happen? It was just summer! How are you going to spend the rest of the year? What are your plans? Are you going to go out with a bang, or stay comfortably in your comfort zone? These […]
Hey there, my dear! You’re cool, right? Yup! And you’re totally modern, right? Affirmative! So…why isn’t your English catching up? You’re still using the same boring words and phrases over and over again. Your comfort zone is not super sparkly, and I’m here to help you get out of it and expand your English vocabulary! […]
You know what? There’s a big beautiful business world out there. Waiting for you. You’re smart, a total pro, and in control. In your own language. But in English, you don’t always feel like you. You know you can do more, but how? Wouldn’t it be great to feel full of confidence and feel like […]
De Roemeense IT’er, de bankier uit Duitsland en de Britse onderzoeker. Op de Nederlandse werkvloer wordt steeds meer Engels gesproken. Nederlanders denken dat zij die taal uitstekend beheersen, maar er valt nog een flinke slag te maken. Imagine an organization (or is it organisation?) where everybody speaks and writes English fluently. Where no Dutchee says […]
This: ‘I cancelled because I felt like such a fraud standing up there. All those eyes looking at me. What if I blacked out? Or said the wrong thing? And no way could I deal with the questions afterwards. So I gave the job to someone else.’ This is what a client told me recently […]
