I like my students to feel supported in their learning process. In my classes, I pay attention to body language, facial expressions, and those small cues that show when someone needs more explanation. Our conversations are natural and dynamic, so speaking Spanish feels easier and more authentic.

Different people have different ways for celebrating birthday in my country, but there are still something in common, such as sharing a birthday cake. Maybe a few decades ago, the local customs deeply influence the ways people celebrated birthday. Traditions needed to be followed. As the different cultures globalized, people tend to celebrate their birthday in a unique way which is really different the traditional ways. In the past, many relatives would be invited to come over to celebrate one's birthday, but nowadays, a birthday can be celebrated by oneself. They can plan a trip on that special day or even having a bungee Jumping. They like to post their birthday pictures on social medias and receive many likes. For elderly, a birthday family reunion is the best. They prepare many dishes for the whole family insteading of eating outside. They really enjoy the process of cooking. Of course, not matter how people celebrate their birthday, they must be haapy on that day!

The three most important things in my life are: ★ Health — both mental and physical, because it gives me the strength and balance to live well. ★ Family — who provide love, support, and connection. ★ My purpose and growth — including my career, personal development, helping others, and experiencing life deeply by embracing the good, learning from the bad, and continuing to grow through it all.

🗳️ POLL: How do YOU prefer your mistakes to be corrected in English?

Reflection Question to Explore Onceself: When you switch into English, which part of you steps forward — the woman who expresses herself… or the woman who tries to survive the moment? What changes in your breath, your tone, or your presence when that shift happens?

🌿 Mini-Exercise: “Reuniting the Two Voices” Duration: 2 minutes — soft, no pressure 1. Close your eyes for one breath. Notice how your body shifts when you think about speaking English. Don’t fix. Just observe. 2. Ask yourself quietly: “Who shows up when I speak English — the one who expresses, or the one who tries to survive?” Let the answer arrive on its own. Your nervous system will show you the truth faster than your mind. 3. Place one hand on your chest and whisper: “Both versions of me are allowed to be here.” This softens the internal split. 4. Now complete this sentence in your mind: “When I speak English, the part of me that takes over is the part that wants to…” (…be perfect, avoid judgment, stay safe, not bother anyone, sound smart — whatever is true for you.) 5. One final breath: Let your shoulders drop 1%. That 1% is where your real voice begins to return. You can also explore this kind of work with me - book a private consultation with me on my profile.
