Guess what? : You're going to mess up! : For all those who think that all the pretty photos I post have come out right at the first shot, well... : They didn't!! : It took 3, 6, 9 or more attempts to get them right. : Here is an example of a photo that came out not as expected. : But you know what ? I like it. It's kinda cool. : And it's cool not only because of the crazy windy hair and the little sign in three different languages. : I like it because it represents something special. : It represents the #process. The "oh-shit" moment. The messy middle (like @mayicarles would say!!) : Without this photo, I couldn't have got to the right one. Without this attempt, I couldn't have got to the end result I wanted. : So whatever you're trying to do right now, I just want to tell you: keep moving forward ! : When you get things wrong, try again and again. Until you get them right. : Because every wrong attempt is one less attempt towards the #endresult you want. : So #keepmovingforward➡️ . : With love -- Ermy : P.s. Tag a friend who needs to hear/read this : : : #fridaymotivation #stayonyourgame #keepthechannelopen #windyhairday #messymiddle #messedup #tryagainandagain #messup

"A shared joy is a double joy; a shared sorrow is half a sorrow; a shared craziness is a quadruple craziness." 😛 : Do you agree?😂 : Photos by @alynaclau ; : : #craziness😂 #notaphotobooth #betterthanaphotobooth #notaquote #fridayquotes #mustachioedmagentoman #ermy #ontherocks #livelovelaugh #happinessisachoice #beyou #youcrackmeup

I'm #Italian and #English is my second language and the first foreign langauge I've learnt. : Before I started learning English seriously (which was in 2006!), I had lots of self-confidence issues. : I'd never speak up for myself-unless I really,really had to!🙊 : It was a real feat for me to start a conversation with someone new at a party or social gathering... : ...And if I ever happened to start the conversation, it was even more challenging to keep it up. : I would overthink pretty much everything I wanted to say or do -- even though it was the right thing to say or do. : And if I happened to say or do something, I'd be constantly judging myself on its outcome, especially if it was negative. I'd replay the whole episode in my mind over and over, telling myself I was stupid or out of place. : But then, when I started learning English and started having my first conversations in this foreign language,I had to force myself out of all my mental constraints. : I had to learn how to start conversations if I wanted to practise this foreign language. : I had to become good at keeping a conversation up. #morepractice : I had to learn how to make friends at social gatherings when on my own abroad for the first time. : I had to speak up for myself as no one was going to do it for me in another country where I knew no one. : I had no time to mull over my mistakes in English as I had to focus on getting my point across and #moveon. : I had to reframe my mistakes as opportunities to learn and become a better version of myself. : Essentially, by learning a foreign language, I've become a more confident individual. : And self-confidence has been the greatest gift tha learning a language has given me. : At the same time, self-confidence is also what I truly want all my students to gain. My highest aspiration for my learners is to be a guide on the side that help them become confident speakers of another language and, consequently, more self-confident individuals. : Tag someone who needs a #selfconfidenceboost and tell me:what's the greatest gift that a foreign language has given you? : #wedolanguages #italianteachers #womeninlanguage #learnforeignlanguages #learnalanguage

Here are some photos from my last Italian workshop @festivalcoffee in #Chester.😊 : We had coffee, tea, hot chocolate, played games and rolpelayed in Italian. : Fancy joining us next Saturday? : We will be @festivalcoffee from 11:00 to 13:45. While waiting for you, I'll possibly be drinking rose scented hot chocolate (yes, they have rose scented hot chocolate there!!) or arranging dice and learning sheets on the coffee table. : We are starting Italian for Travellers this coming Saturday. It's going to be on 5, 12, 19, 26 May. Four intensive (and playful) workshops for beginners of pretty much 3h each. : If you want to come along, book your place by clicking on the link in bio. Oh ...today (MAY 1ST) is the last day to apply, so if you're in, make sure you enroll now : P.s. Have you done the course before and would like to refresh your knowledge by reapiting it?Just DM and let me know and you can repeat the whole course at half price. : : #chesteroffers #chesterinstagram #chesterevents #chestercoffee

Aspiring Italian learners in Chester!! In case you are on the fence about joining Italian for Travellers and may be wondering if it's the right course for you, I wanted to let you know that ... : ITALIAN FOR TRAVELLERS IS FOR YOU IF… : You have no knowledge (or very little knowledge) of Italian and want to reach a basic speaking level of this language (A1/A2 level) : You love travelling to Italy for holiday and would like to feel confident to speak basic Italian once there : You want to acquire basic grammar and vocabulary of Italian language : You’re willing to get out of your comfort zone in order to practise speaking Italian : You don’t mind role-playing (and even dancing!) as a way to practise the language. : You have a good sense of humour : You want a structured way to learn essential Italian vocabulary and grammar : You learn better in groups and don’t want to sacrifice teacher’s attention that is pretty much split in larger groups (in this group, there are just eight or less learners!) : You want accountability to be consistent with your learning : You’re willing to take some time to improve and practise your Italian also in your own time. : HOWEVER, ITALIAN FOR TRAVELLERS IS NOT FOR YOU IF… : You have already a basic level of Italian : You have very specific learning needs and prefer one to one classes. : You’re not willing to get out of your comfort zone in order to practise speaking Italian. : You think that you can learn by just showing up at the learning sessions and listen passively. : You don’t dig roleplaying as a way of learning : You believe that things language coaching is total BS. : You like eating pizza with pineapple (just kiddin’!) : So, what do you think? If you feel that Italian for Travellers is the right course for you, feel free to check It out in my link un bio and apply. : Applications close on May 1st. We are going to the workshops from May5th at @festivalcoffee in Chester. And they have very good hot chocokate and cakes. Nice and soft ones. Hope to see you there.😊 : #chesterculture #italian #eventsinchester #cheshirevents #chesteroffers #locallove
