So we have a little lake in front of our home and lately it’s been kinda busy as people have dusted off their bikes and trainers to make the most of our “one time outside a day for exercise” (Sidenote: I’m really intrigued to see the long term effects of how we’ll exercise as a nation!) 🤗 So I’ve had to take myself a little beyond there for my social distancing walk! No one else seems to know about this bridleway - shh! 🤫 😉 How are you getting on? Are you still allowed outside where you are? #wedoisolation https://ift.tt/2y8Uupv

So following your feedback yesterday when I threw this idea out on my Stories, we’ll kick off these free daily lessons for children with Spanish! 👍 They’ll be hosted live on my YouTube channel and you’ll be able to catch up after if you can’t join live. What I’m thinking is we’ll have some fun with one language Mon-Thurs then vote across the week for which language to discover on Friday! My aim here isn’t to get your child fluent, it’s to spark a little inspiration through some fun, not too “schooly” activities that may lead to more curiosity for different languages, places and people. 💛 Just because we’re all staying at home doesn’t mean we close the door to discovering about others! 🤗 More details on the top link in my bio link but this is pretty much all you need to know - subscribe on YouTube, head there at 10am U.K. time from Monday and join the free classes! 🥳 Please share with parents, friends and family you know who will find this helpful! See you there? #wedolanguages https://ift.tt/2xl8ts4

Recorded a podcast for #thefluentshow today with @kerstin_fluent about our favourite books about language and we got talking about how my library closed this week! 😱 Which means I now have no excuse to work my way through my pile of “read and pass on” books at this time! 🙃 That’s the first thing I enjoyed today - recording the podcast. 2️⃣ I had a quick Skype chat with someone we were due to meet in a couple of weeks in the Isle of Man and starting Language Stories filming. Alas, we’ve postponed Language Stories season 3 to next year (you know, because 😷), but it was still great to speak a litttle Gaelg with someone in real time for the first time ever! 3️⃣ I typically watch English stuff with my lunch and right now it’s Great Pottery Throw Down, which my sister introduced me to and Oh Me, Oh My...the innuendos and endless! 😂 I’ve also been working hard to open up some Live Support Calls for teachers next week - come and ask your questions about teaching languages online! I’ve updated the “How I can help teachers right now” link in my bio link so you can find out more there. 👍 What have you enjoyed today? #wedolanguages https://ift.tt/398rOtJ

This photo's from a few years ago. I'd just written a blog post called "12 Top Tips: How to Teach Languages On Skype" or something similar. I asked my mum to come and take some photos I could use for the post in the garden. I jumped a bit, and somehow we got this mid-air shot. Pretty proud. Anyway, that's not what this is about. Rather, it's about how that one blog article led to this whole other angle of discovery + connection for me - not just to work with language learners, but also online language teachers. And I'm STILL jumping in the air because it's SO MUCH FUN. After countless emails asking about teaching online, I knew I needed to do something. That's why the Online Teaching Starter Kit exists. To help YOU see clearly + go further with support from me and a whole host of other online teachers on the course just like you. Want to learn more? Ready to join + start jumping in the air for yourself? 🙃 Check the link in my bio to join now! #teachlanguagesonline⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teachandtravel #teachersofinsta #teachergram #iteach #teacherspayteachers #ukteachers #englishteacher #onlineteacher #eslteacher #spanishteacher #happyteacher #tesol #teachingenglish #englishteacher #onlineteaching #onlineeducation #digitalbusiness #teachable #creativeentrepreneurs #laptoplifestyleliving #workanywhere #workhardanywhere #femtrepreneur #edchat #languagestudent #languages #learnlanguages #languageschool #foreignlanguage https://ift.tt/3aL9U1b

When I first started teaching languages online, I was just excited that there was another way to give the 1:1 lessons I'd been teaching. There was quite literally a whole world out there, way beyond the "as the crow flies" radius that the tutor website let me choose as how far I was willing to travel for each student. My first online students were from China, Brazil and the USA. It was so cool to me that I could teach these people, regardless of where we both were when it was time for their lesson. It totally opened up the potential to me of what Lindsay Does Languages could become. Then something else happened. As we got ready to move to a new town too far from my current students (further than the crow would fly, or I would drive), I started Googling how else I could teach languages online. Wow. There's so much opportunity out there. Don't let that go to waste. Come + join me this Friday 13th March (eek, Friday 13th? I know right...) at 1pm UK time. I'll be sharing the 4 most important ways to teach languages online beyond 1:1 lessons. Prepare for your world to expand yet again! 😉 #teachlanguagesonline ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #learninglanguages #foreignlanguages #languagestudy #polyglot #learnlanguages #languagelover #languages #idiomas #inglesfacil #studytime #studytips #studystudystudy #studycommunity #studyspo #studyspiration #studywithme #study_time #studyhard #learnfrench #learnspanish #learnenglish #learngerman #learnitalian #grammar #englishlearning #englishlanguage #englishtips #eslteacher #teachonline https://ift.tt/2IzccEu

Gonzo's waking up good and proper now after her sleepy wintertime! Still not quite happy to pose for photos yet though... 😕 Anyway, she's here to remind you that today's the last day to get that extra bonus when you join the Online Teaching Starter Kit. That's probably why she looks slightly miffed here. She's like "Hmm...steal my owner for an hour if you must. I'll send you your tickle time theft fine in the post." What can you do?! 🙃Check the link in my bio if you're ready to join. #teachlanguagesonline ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teachandtravel #teachersofinsta #teachergram #iteach #teacherspayteachers #ukteachers #englishteacher #onlineteacher #eslteacher #spanishteacher #happyteacher #tesol #teachingenglish #englishteacher #onlineteaching #onlineeducation #digitalbusiness #teachable #creativeentrepreneurs #laptoplifestyleliving #workanywhere #workhardanywhere #femtrepreneur #edchat #languagestudent #languages #learnlanguages #languageschool #foreignlanguage https://ift.tt/3cEKRyD

It's been two years since the first Women In Language event (for those asking, yes it's happening this year, just later because we've all been waaaay too busy with colliding commitments this time round!) That also means it's been two years since we went to Machu Picchu. 🇵🇪 We went just days before Women in Language happened, I got really sick (altitude isn't my amigo), we had to walk 2 hours in the rain, the food on our trip was rubbish, and then we finally arrived. Majestic? Magical? Memorable? Well, not really, no, it was misty and we couldn't see a thing. 🙃 That said, as the day went on, it proved itself worth the journey. And that's kinda my point. There were times on our way to Machu Picchu (multiple times!) when we asked ourselves if it was really worth it, when we were ready to be like "Nah, leave it mate, we'll wait for the bus back to Cusco." And there'll be moments like that too as you start teaching online. Times when the tech doesn't do what you want, when one tiny comment can throw you sideways for a whole day (or week), when you're wondering if you should just give up, turn around and go back. Don't. Keep climbing. After some direction to help take you through it all step-by-step? The Online Teaching Starter Kit is available right now with some pretty cool bonuses (one is a live 1:1 call with me - that one's only available when you join this weekend!). 😱 See that rope on the left side? Yeah, that's me. Helping you climb. 👍 Learn more + enroll now at the link in my bio.

Have you seen today's video + blog? I'm walking you through how to use Zoom to teach languages online. In the past few years it's become pretty much where I do 90% of my live calls now.

On the Teach Languages Online Podcast today, I'm talking all about mindset. In particular, about some of the key mindset blocks we tell ourselves when it comes to teaching languages online. Listen at the link in my bio! But we do this all the time, not just with work. 🙄 Lately, I've found reframing stuff to include the word "get" really helpful, especially if there's tasks that I don't want to do so much. Rather than "I have to write that thing", it's "I get to listen to my favourite new playlist while I write that thing". 🎉 All of a sudden that sounds more appealing, right? Do you do this yourself? #teachlanguagesonline ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teachandtravel #teachersofinsta #teachergram #iteach #teacherspayteachers #ukteachers #englishteacher #onlineteacher #eslteacher #spanishteacher #happyteacher #tesol #teachingenglish #englishteacher #onlineteaching #onlineeducation #digitalbusiness #teachable #creativeentrepreneurs #laptoplifestyleliving #workanywhere #workhardanywhere #femtrepreneur #edchat #languagestudent #languages #learnlanguages #languageschool #foreignlanguage https://ift.tt/3a4qKYD

Writing in Manx this morning! Not sure if it’s 💯 but it doesn’t matter right now because practice is practice 😉🤓👍 Do you write often in the language you’re learning? If you’re teaching languages, how do you make writing a fun part of your lessons? #teachlanguagesonline https://ift.tt/37Y15zh
