Dear Students,
With a reference to the current events and the possible changes in your working schedule, I would like to inform you that if you're working from home and wish to move your evening classes to the late morning or early afternoon please let me know. I will try to offer you as much flexibility as I possibly can. Also, please do let me know about any possible cancellations. Especially, if you have already moved any of regular classes. Do not wait to the last minute with such info please. Be safe. Keep safe and don’t forget to wash your hands. PS. All of you involved in the buddy project please make sure that you've already established the initial contact on Zoom and you're on schedule with the tasks. Thanks. Fabulous students TESTS Congrats to you on your Semester 1 test. Good results! Keep up the good work! THE BUDDY PROGRAM The buddy program has just started. There is a new green icon in your learning space to indicate this. It takes you to a file with the project info and task details. I do hope that the project will be of benefit to you and to your language partner. Please put your hearts and minds into it. And if you are unsure of any of the parts please contact me immediately. Additional classes on QUIZLET
You can join my new Grammar class on Quizlet. There're already some sets for grammar revision. The ones labelled EASY are for low-level students. You can join HERE 1) New contact number As you, I hope, already know I have changed my number. It's 739-907-487. The old one is no longer in use. Please mind that this change affects our Whatsapp correspondence as well. 2) Tests Term 1 tests will be held in the first week of March . They will include everything we have covered from September. Please don't be surprised. 3) No classes on Saturday I am not able to offer you any of additional classes, conversations or catch-ups on Saturdays at the moment. 4) The tandem idea I want to encourage you to step out a bit and look more intensively for your language partner, your lg buddy, your tandem. A person you can share your work with; exchange constructive feedback; revise vocabulary or even chat from time to time. I know that some of you have been already doing that; and I guess some of you need this pep talk to finally give it a go. Please, please do not feel forced to do that! If you are not ready - OK, give yourself some more time but also do not wait forever. If you can talk among yourselves and get into such collaboration - that’s perfect. If you need me to help out a bit pls fill in your agreement form. It’s not an obligation, it’s a step. You can take it or not. I think it’s worth trying and I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the plunge. All the best to you in 2020.
Hope it will be a good year for you. What's new? 1 - the Updates will be run every month in the first/second week of the month. I won't be sending you any other group info apart from this notification. 2 - I have closed my @tellmemo_eu Instagram account. I have kept my public-private one @agnieszkadanderfluff. I don't think that I'll be tremendously active there but if you wish to follow me there please feel invited. Also the Tell me More Facebook account is dead. I haven't closed it yet but I have't been using it for ages now and I have no plans of changing it so please don't contact me or pass my contact to others through that media. 3 - There's been a lot of confusion over the Buddy2Buddy Conversations. Therefore, I think I will be offering one free conversation classes a month. You can bring your buddy, you don't have to. There will be a link for enrollment attached to every month updates. 4 - A reminder: Please use
Let me keep this one as short as possible.
1. Thank you All who took part in our yesterday's Live Kahoot Game. It was a blast! (now you can get rid of Kahoot - it was mainly for that Challenge!) 2. I love all the entries to the Mind Mapping Competition. I honestly cannot choose 1 or even 2. So, let it be - you're All winners and every entry wins the Synonyms, Antonyms and Mind Mapping Session. See you in January for this. Study skills are a big part of learning. You need to learn more words, but how? I am trying to sneak in different study skills methods into our classes but frankly the way you record your words is much your own domain. But, hey, maybe what you do is not very effective; or could be improved? That's why I've started working on a course with a working titled - Improve your study skills. It's a big project, which will take a while to finish. But, since I have been working hard on that I want to give you a glimpse of what it might be about. That's why I am offering you one session called Synonyms, Antonyms, Collocations and MindMapping. During this session we will be working on your notes, improving your study materials, and learning or revising vocabulary. I believe, ... no I know it will be beneficial for you. And now The the biggest news! I'm offering this session for 1 or max 2 people now. I'm offering it for FREE. All you need to do is write me why you think you want to take this session. Not an essay; a few sentences. Don't worry I know your level of English and I can assure you it won't be a hindrance. I am going to read every entry and then I am going to choose 1 (or maybe 2). The session will take place in January but I am waiting for your entries till Sunday 8th December. This is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Try to get it! There will be a Christmas break from 23rd December to 1st January.
I'm not planning to hold any regular classes during this festive period. If you would like to have the classes or reschedule them please do not hesitate to contact me NOW and I am going to see what can be done about it. There will be no buddy-to-buddy conversations in December. They will be back in January. Whose who enrolled will be notified. If you still want to enroll, pls do it HERE. On 8th December at 8pm I invite you all to play wintry-Christmasy Kahoot with me. We connect by Zoom for the play screen and have our Kahoots on our mobiles. There will be prizes to take and fun to make. Thank you for your Q&A feedback and additional questions. Hopefully, I will answer them in January 2020. I'm planning to finish the Q&A post with Part 2. So if you want to pop a question do it now and HERE. Thanks. Dear Students, here's the latest info, please read, enjoy and act accordingly :) 1. Catch-ups Most of you missed the classes last week as your teacher decided to have a cosmic experience with sinusitis. Thank you for all your wish-wells and understanding with the classes cancellation. I would like to give you the opportunity to catchup for the missing classes if, of course, it's your wish to do that. Please check HERE 2. Free Saturday conversations Bring your language buddy or let me pair you with one of my students and let's chat a bit. The gloomy November weather is perfect for staying at home with a nice cuppa and chilling out. It's also perfect for a little tête-à-tête ... in English! Interested? Let me know 3. Cheesy songs Congrats
It was an intensive challenge but some of you did really well! Congrats to All of you who tried! The whole program is now available HERE 4. Q and A is coming Guys, I was delighted to see all your valuable input with my first Q&A. Your questions are just great. I hope to give you the best possible answers very soon. Stay tuned! My dear Studentos, I am gonna take the plunge and create my very first Q&A (questions&answers) post. It's become so trendy to have the Q&A section that I thought I would like to see how this works too. Not that I have a burning need to follow the latest trends but I guess I wish to challenge myself, and maybe you, a bit. So please leave me all your serious and .... crazy questions below. I'll be collecting them till 20th October. And then I will see what I can come up with. PS. The questions can be anonymous so no wuzzers :) Just a quick note.
I am just about to compose some kind of a schedule for the upcoming year. If you have filled in the next year's enrollment and you haven't changed your mind there's only the question of days and times. Please let me know your day&time wishes in the email or Whatsapp msg. Also, if you have any special content request, let me know before it's too late :) Finally, if for any reasons you cannot continue your classes or you're not sure whether you will be able to please let me know as well. I always give the priority to the returning students and hope to come up with a schedule for you before I welcome new students. And last, if you're no longer my student but wish to hear from me from time to time via Whatsapp or email, pls msg me "I want to stay in touch". I respect your privacy and don't want you to feel bombarded with unwanted messages. Thank you. Waiting to hear from you. |
