24/10/2025 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Next week’s schedule

​There will be no catch-ups next week — I’m undergoing a dental procedure on Monday and, frankly, I already have a lot on my plate.
So, apart from what’s already booked, I won’t be accepting new catch-ups for the coming week. Thank you for understanding and keeping your slots as planned.

Reader

A special round of applause for everyone who’s been doing their vocabulary workouts — with the READER — and who diligently records new words.
You’re doing excellent work.

All vocab so far revision

We’re heading towards the end of the month, which means — time for revision.
This will apply especially to Cappuccino and Americano courses.
For INKA students: revision is optional. 

Pot of Development update

If your pot of development hasn’t changed recently, it doesn’t mean I’ve fallen asleep — it simply means there’s little visible progress at the moment.
But if you notice movement there — that’s a wonderful sign.
Congratulations to all whose pots are currently sprouting something new 🌱

Learn English with Abby

Abby would like to remind everyone that she’s currently running her own InstaStory series – “Learn English with Abby.”
She also asked me to spread the word because, well… she’s a bit of an attention seeker (but let’s keep that between us).
For those who don’t have Instagram, worry not — Abby’s posts are also published in Vocabulary Booster as compiled entries. They aren’t video entries and, sadly, they come without the music, so they lose a touch of InstaCharm — but the vocabulary remains just as sharp.

Bits and bobs

In our Bits & Bobs section this week, we’ve got two little gems.
First, the utterly charming Benedict Cumberbatch teams up with Jimmy Fallon in one of their delightfully ridiculous sketches. HERE
Second, we have a wry little video translation of what certain English phrases really mean — especially when introverts say them. HERE
