The December wrap-up

STUDENT OF THE MONTH

Once again, thank you very much for your extra involvement in the Student of the month challenge. Some of you, really invested a lot of effort and  engagement. I can only hope that your motivation will be growing in the months to come. Anyhow, we say goodbye to the student of the month challenge (maybe, we will give it another go in spring). And we can All congratulate Bozena for winning the competition!

Bozena, well done; well done indeed!  ​

​PS. If you would like to let me know what you think about the challenge, you can still do it by filling in a super short feedback HERE

SAY HELLO TO BADGES

And just not lose the momentum, I am introducing the concept of badges.
I guess, we are all familiar with our Lazy Panda badge. So to counterbalance this "award", I have created a bunch of badges to promote and encourage positive behaviour. Below, I am presenting 6 of them - but knowing me I will probably come up with a few more. 
Now, the badges will be displayed in your Feedback section. And you will know that you have been granted one if you spot a star next to your lesson notes.

20 idioms in 20 days challenge

December has started with 20 idioms in 20 days challenge. And I really cannot stress enough, how important learning, knowing and using the idiomatic expression is. In this challenge we get acquainted with the most popular ones at the moment. Learning idioms from books might be counterproductive as a lot of them could sound outdated. What I am offering you in this challenge is an authentic set of  commonly used expressions. Grab this opportunity!

QUIZZES, RECOMMENDATIONS & TMM LINKEDIN PAGE

From time to time I will be whatsapping you some test yourself quizzes. If you find them interesting, give them a go. Also, if you feel that the content of the quiz is something you would like to cover in the lesson, just let me know and we will put it on board. 
And just for the record, I share quite a lot of recommendations on my TMMLinkedin page. Please feel invited to pop in from time to time.  

CHRISTMAS BREAK

Christmas break starts from 24th December and continues to 1st January. However, if you are my Monday student you need to reschedule the lesson to a different day as there are only 3 Mondays in the month. I will be opening some slots that you can book, so anybody who will be missing some classes in December would have an extra chance to catch up. Please, check the booking page regularly. I am just reminding you, the link to the booking page is in your learning space - just follow the calendar icon.
