Last summer, I stayed at Hotel Viru in Tallinn for a few days.
One afternoon, I went to the hotel gym.
And it was empty!
“Great,” I thought. “My own private gym.”
But then I noticed something: I wasn’t trying very hard.
The following week, I had moved into an Airbnb and joined a local gym that was always packed.
And I was back to my usual workouts that made me sweat and my muscles sore.
That’s the power of eyeballs – other people’s eyeballs.
When someone is watching you, you behave differently.
You work harder.
You’re more honest.
And you speak English better.
Some people think AI will replace human teachers.
I disagree.
Why?
No eyeballs.
It’s International Adopt A Teacher Week
When you hire your own private English teacher, you do two good things:
- You feed a teacher
- You feed your English
How To Adopt A Teacher
- Go to my teacher website, Teacher Creature
- Choose a teacher and tell him / her you’d like English lessons this summer.
- Enjoy stronger English while your friends get skin cancer outside.
But summer english teacher is not free right?
You are in good reason, when someone look at us , things change; we want to appear more strong, beautiful and valuable. Sometime we feel comfortable but other time we feel unconfortable because of emotions or the lack of confidence.
Hi. I’m Ngoné from Senegal. I definitely adopt Mr Vig as my own english teacher. I became more and more confident at listening but I steel fear of speaking in public.
Hi!
Nice evening. I had “Madama Butterfly” opera night. The show was in Italian (which I don`t know), but I understood everything from the English subtitles. I realized that I have benefited to reading and listening your lessons and sories. And your advices – all are pure gold! Thank you Ryan!
That’s great!
AI can you nothing-because your ideas and short stories are neverending interesting. You have found way to learn us several words easy, baut every day,:-) Mr. Vig, you are most interesting, and sure the best Teacher. I think I am reading yor texts almost two years? Oh, is it possible?
Wow, Ryan, you are a great theacher! Thanks for your lesson, told me as selfstory, without direct advices. Now I understood why I need Vig Village conversations.
Greetings. Alex.
