You CAN think in English without translating from your native language.
Just imagine how it feels when in the meeting with your colleagues or partners, or during the trip, or when you have relocated to another country, you don’t look up words and appropriate structures in your head.
You don’t struggle to make up a sentence, and you don’t wonder whether they got your idea or not.
You just speak.
Clearly, confidently, freely.
All of these are possible. So just take a step.
And… see you on my channel.

Quick test 😉
Is this cup made OF glass or is it made FROM glass?

For a long time, I lived with the idea that I had to be productive and do something useful every single minute of the day.
If I wasn’t teaching, I had to work on my social media.
If I didn’t want that, I had to learn something.
My day had to be about constant development.
Until I realized: life is what’s happening right now.
It’s what I want to do, but often force myself to do something completely different.
So here I am - sitting on my balcony, painting an autumn leaf (and sharing it with you 😁 like it or not).
I love drawing! I used to be quite good at it. Let’s see if there’s some skill left.
My point is: when we rest, our creativity returns. When we slow down, ideas appear. We don’t always need to push, sometimes we need to breathe.
What’s something you haven’t done for a long time, but it instantly makes you smile?

✨ A new chapter begins ✨
It has been two years since I said goodbye to my beloved dog. The space he left in my heart was huge, and for a long time, I wasn’t ready. But love has a beautiful way of finding us again…
Today, I’m so happy to introduce Mady. 🐾💛 She’s playful, gentle, and already teaching me to see the world with fresh eyes.
Mady is going to be a big part of my life (and most likely my videos and posts, too 😉).
Here’s to new adventures together!
🐶 By the way, amazing golden retriever puppies are still looking for their loving families!
You can find them here www.instagram.com/golden_tradition?igsh=MXB2ajk5dz…
Don’t miss your chance to meet your own golden friend! ✨
A huge thank you to Alla — for Mady, your support, and your friendship. 💛

I love autumn. While most people I know are waiting for summer with its long, hot, sunny days, I spend it in anticipation of fresh misty mornings, cozy early twilights, colorful parks, jackets and cardigans, hot chocolate, and cinnamon coffee. Yes, I know I can drink it in summer, but it just doesn’t feel the same.
I wake up in autumn: I want to create, travel, and start something new. Although September is still quite warm - sometimes even hot - where I live, I can’t help but sense that first breath of the season I feel most alive in.
And of course, being an English teacher, I just have to share some of my favorite, totally random, autumn-connected English words that I personally find beautiful:

✨If you’re learning English as an adult, I have a question for you:
When your English reaches the level you dream of, what will change in your life? What do you expect from it?

📢 New video coming tomorrow! 🎥
I’ve been making videos here for over a year, but I’ve never really talked about how I teach… until now.
In my next video, I’m sharing the things I NEVER do as an English teacher — and why my students actually benefit from it.
✅ Why I don’t correct every mistake
✅ Why I won’t “push” or “parent” you into studying
✅ Why grammar is still non-negotiable
… and more!
💬 While you’re waiting — tell me in the comments: What’s one thing you value most in a teacher?

So, you already feel confident about your English… but then you hear a familiar word used in a totally unfamiliar way.
There are maaaany words in English that can surprise even advanced learners with their hidden meanings.
Tomorrow, I am starting a series of short videos to cover most interesting common English words that sometimes can mean something you don't expect.
But before that, I have a question:
Have you ever faced a simple word that surprised you with its hidden meaning?
Please, share them in the comments.

This post isn’t about English. It’s about love. 🐶
When I got my dog, I didn’t just get a pet. I got a daily lesson in patience, routine, and being present.
Strange as it may sound, she’s helped me become a better person AND a better teacher.
And today, I want to help a friend.
She raises golden retrievers - kind, gentle, loyal dogs - and right now, there are some adorable puppies looking for their future families.
If you (or someone you know) has ever dreamed of having a dog - feel free to message me.
I’ll be happy to connect you with my friend and the whole world of golden retrievers.
