 I invite you to explore the deep and reflective practice of Stoicism as a guiding light in your language learning journey. Together, we looked at how the timeless teachings of Stoic thinkers like Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus can help us stay steady when progress feels slow, and calm when fluency seems far.

The key principles we embraced were:

Focus only on what you can control: Show up daily, release comparison, and do your part.

Endure discomfort with grace: Struggle is part of growth, and neuroscience confirms it strengthens memory.

Accept what you don’t know: There’s power in admitting ignorance—it opens the door to deeper understanding.

Practice moderation: Sustainable routines outlast intensity. Small steps taken regularly create long-term fluency.

Find joy in becoming: Let go of perfection and embrace the process as it is. You’re not just learning words—you’re learning yourself.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been learning for years, this episode reminds you that calm perseverance—not rush or perfection—is where real language mastery begins. 🌿

The Missing Element in All Types of Interviews

In a job interview, make your case fast and be sure your suit is pressed, too. But it's not what the recording is about :) 

You might laugh, but it takes a few seconds for an experienced HR manager to decide on the outcome of the interview.

One of my students from China working as a general manager for a luxury firm said, "Oh, Anatoly, I watch for the words they use; if they have a victim mentality, the chances of them succeeding with us are low.". 

What are you going to do now after reading this?

I mean, I hear these remarks by my students who are top managers—they don't want to hear any kind of whining or complaining about the past. All they care about is how successfully you are going to assist and support the company's evolution and growth!

The winner's attitude is what they are looking for, and to be honest, it's a rare-case scenario.

If you check with yourself, what do you like? A complainer? A thrilled and excited individual? Are you happy about the changes, or does the future seem dark and gloomy?

Top managers got themselves trained to pick those nuanses, and so do I, as I've had top performers as my students for 8 years, and I did close to 21 thousand meetings with them—it's evident!

Let me know if this text was an eye-opener for you. I would be for me!!!

Watch it, read it, or listen to it. It doesn't matter how you digest the news, and, in truth, you would do best to mix all three methods to improve all your skills, but what it is really great for are 2 key things - improving your vocabulary for talking about things that are current and relevant, and providing you will a great resource for things to talk about that really affect us all, from ways of doing business today right down to everyone's day to day lives.
