In Progress:

In Progress English: I have the methodology, and I have the experience. The two guiding principles are to provide a comfortable learning environment where people are not afraid to make mistakes - it’s the spot where learning happens. Also a dynamic environment because who’s learning anything if they’re dying of boredom? It would be conversation-based, but there would/will definitely be a written component. And a whiteboard grammar demo corner, for sure, with thick-tipped black Sharpies.

I can do an English Language Lesson (ELLESS) on Dark Night of the Soul: Vocab* and usage**. Present Simple + To be Verb. Followed with and Elless on Present Progressive talking about in progress action the language of doing. If you’re not growing you’re dying.

*Flash point (n): thet point where something/someone causes an important change or reaction.

** yagottasaveyerowndamn life (connected speech) you have to take care of yourself.
