I got more and more customers who wanted to have lessons via Skype and often lived outside of my own city or abroad. […]

Gap words in Dutch: stopwoordjes!

25th January 2017 by sandra Comment?

We have all heard the following words used by people in English: you know, actually, so, okay, I guess, well, truly, really, totally, awesome, like, about, absolutely. And many more. They don’t always add to the meaning or intention of what you want to say, but often unconsciously, creep into our way of speaking. They are also referred to as gap […]

Promoting English a Day

2nd September 2014 by sandra Comment?

When I started thinking about how to advertise my language-app English a Day I initially wanted to hire a marketing guru. Or someone who’s more specialized and experienced in this kind of work than I am. But at the same time I had the feeling that a language app should also be shown in pictures. Not too […]

English a Day, learn bit by bit!

13th May 2014 by sandra Comment?

Every student has a different way of learning. One loves to read and learn, another likes to listen and some can only concentrate for a few minutes and need instant feedback. As a teacher I know that I should be capable of offering all of these learning styles at once. However, that’s still a big […]

Mark’s English is not bad, hoor

26th March 2014 by sandra Comment?

I was quite pleased with the fact that during this weekend’s Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague our Dutch politicians didn’t make embarrassing blunders while speaking English. At least, these mistakes have not been taped or rephrased, as far as I know. Many of us know, I think, the famous words our former premier Joop […]

Ezelsbruggetjes #2 – Grammatical memory aids

16th November 2013 by sandra 1 comment

In this blog more about memory aids for English grammar. Or, with another chic word, mnemonics!* The Dutch translation for ‘mnemonics’ is ‘ezelsbruggetjes’. Last time that I wrote about ‘ezelsbruggetjes’ I did that in Dutch, because mnemonics can help Dutch learners with remembering English grammar rules. And I also found out that my blog about […]
