5 English Lessons Learned While Skiing: Lesson 5

“Why are you looking at the map?”

I have a friend who liked to read the ski map while we were in the gondola. 

“I want to know where to go,” he would say. 

And can you guess what he would say when we came to a trail head?

“Where do we go?” 

Ski Lessons Become English Lessons

Some people say I’m a teachaholic. 

It’s true.

I work a lot.

But this winter, I also skied a lot. 

Here are some lessons I learned on the mountain.

Throw Away The Map

Have you ever done the same with English?

You study the map (the grammar book). 

And then you get into a conversation and you’re lost. 

I say, it’s better to throw away your English map. 

Do English (don’t study it). 

It won’t be a straight line. 

But you’ll find your way.
