I’ve been lucky to have crossed paths with great language teachers. In a classroom, through a podcast, a guided course. No matter where I meet them, they share two qualities.

First, an approach that celebrates the process (it’s the journey, not the destination) and gives learners helpful nudges along the way. And second, a well of creativity and passion. It's that teacher who encourages you to try, to stay with it, to get good.

Christina is one such teacher. I always look forward to updates from her newsletter, Love to Lingo. She guides self-driven language learners and shares insights from language acquisition research.

Slow Language Learning
It started as an experiment. A year later, it’s a practice.
Becoming a Good Language Learner
(Or at least acting like one.)
