This was one of our most personal sessions so far. Ludmila kindly told me about a problem she had been having, and I was more than willing to offer her my own thoughts on the issue. Genuine language learning, I believe, occurs when we place ourselves in situations of real language use: when we dream, cry, laugh, even when we argue in our target language. In that regard, this was a very productive meeting, and I am glad to say that, although Ludmila was discussing her emotions, she kept on using English the whole time. In short, she used the language as a way of learning more about herself & her own feelings. Thank you so very much. I'll see you next time!

It was a great first conversation. I felt your dedication and eagerness to learn.

Another great, playful, enriching lesson! We talked about our childhood feats and pranks, and Ludmila greatly entertained me with her stories. As always, thank you for your company and your wonderfully positive energy!

In today's session, Ludmila and I talked about the importance (but also the dangers) of reading the news frequently. We discussed a specific event that dominated Brazilian attention in the past few days, and we attempted to explain why people — educated people, at times — fall prey to obviously misleading fake news. This was another lovely conversation, and our 60 minutes elapsed almost instantly. I hope to see you again soon!
