After 2 weeks of resting and healing my slipped disc, I can now stand and sit on my kneeling chair for very short periods wearing a back brace! 😁 🥳 The kitchen table is now transformed into a standing desk, and I'm taking the opportunity to edit an upcoming podcast.. Step by step getting better! 😅

I've been a bit quiet because... 🤕

During lockdown I'd been working a lot when I got a bit of backpain... I changed to a standing desk and thought it could solve it. It didn't. One day I woke up and COULD NOT MOVE. An MRI scan showed I slipped a disc in my back. Ouch. The worst pain of my life!😩

I've been resting A LOT and am recovering.🤞🙏

COOL LANGUAGE TOOL:
As I pretty much can't do anything but watch Netflix, I've discovered a very COOL chrome extension for learning languages. It's called Learning Languages with Netflix. It's free to use with your Netflix account. (Do a Google search for it). You can watch films and series and see subtitles in TWO LANGUAGES at the SAME TIME! It's brilliant, I'm using it to learn Italian 😃.

With lots of legal English dramas on Netflix you can improve your legal English with this extension too.

Do you think Legal English is important? 🤔⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I recently read 'English at Work: global analysis of language skills in the workplace' a report by Cambridge English and I was shocked by the stats related to the legal sector. Are you? 👇⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I think legal English is important (obviously!) and love teaching it. I'm happy to be able to help you all improve your job opportunities and general sense of satisfaction with life! 🙂⁠

This week's quote comes from one of my favourite books 'Letters from a Stoic' by Seneca. I find a lot of Stoic philosophy very helpful. 😍⁠
•⁠
The quote is: "Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those who you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one: men learn as they teach. " - Seneca. ⁠
•⁠
The photo in the background was taken a few years ago in Amsterdam with my closest friends, I'm so grateful to have them - I always learn new things from them especially as we all work in such diverse fields (actresses, costume designer, nurse, doctor, academic). And of course - I love my job as a legal English teacher - I'm always learning from my students! ⁠
•⁠
Are you MOTIVATED to improve yourself!?☀️⚡️ ⁠
•⁠

25/05/2020

I love this quote and this book by Seneca the Roman stoic philosopher. What do you think? ⁠👇⁠
•⁠
🙏I started reading this after hearing Tim Ferriss talk about stoic philosophy so much on his podcast🙏. ⁠I love listening to podcasts!
