We are playing THIS or THAT game today! 👏

The rules are:

▶ answer my first question -(optional: explain your choice)
▶ write your question
▶ choose any topic you like
▶ find some ideas on the photo

My question is:

Morning OR evening?

During my stay in the UK, I also visited a town called Bath. What a funny name, right? And the train stop is called Bath Spa—sounds relaxing already, doesn’t it? Makes you want to hop on a train and go!

While exploring the town, I came across a beautiful spot called The Royal Crescent (click on the word and check the pronunciation—it's not what you'd expect!). I really wanted to have the full experience of a traditional English afternoon tea there… but when I saw the price—£49 per person—I decided to save that for another time and had my tea elsewhere.

Anyway, what caught my attention more was the word crescent itself. It actually has two meanings:

🌙Shape: A crescent is a curved, moon-like shape—like a crescent moon.

🏬 Architecture/Street design: In British English, a crescent can also mean a curved row of houses or buildings, like the iconic Royal Crescent in Bath. It’s a perfect semicircle of Georgian architecture!

Like this post if it was interesting! ✌🏻

During my April trip to the UK I visited a castle (and saw several more) in Swansea, Wales! I haven’t seen a palace though (at least no one told me “look, it’s a palace!”). I focused on castles mainly.

Castle vs Palace
 
Difference between castle and palace is not hard to understand once you find out why each one was built in the first place.

Castle is built to prove supremacy (= the leading or controlling position), whereas a palace is built to prove royalty.

A castle is built for protection or for defense purposes while a palace is built to showcase wealth and power.

This article will discuss all these features, explaining them so that you can differentiate a castle from a palace without a problem.

Did you know this?

📍Sharing useful websites if you are interested in "What's the difference between?" (one of my favourite questions of the day).

AllDifferences.com
Ever wondered what the difference is between a muffin and a cupcake? Or a crocodile and an alligator? This site is like a nosy friend who always knows the answer – and explains it simply!

ThisVsThat.io
You pick two things – say, “cat vs dog” – and this site puts them side by side. It’s fast, fun and super handy when you're stuck choosing between sushi and pizza (or just curious).

DifferenceBetween.info
This site breaks down the differences between stuff so that even your sleepy Monday brain can understand. Like a helpful teacher who is always in a good mood and ready to answer your requests (like me, basically 🤪!).

I've just spent 9 days in the UK. It was such a lovely trip, full of nostalgia and heartwarming reunions. 🤗

I met up with several friends and classmates—some of whom I hadn’t seen in years. Two of my classmates are now married and have built a beautiful family together👫. They have 2 adorable little kids👦🏻👧🏻, 2 dogs🐕🐕, and—just recently—a playful new puppy🐶 who kept trying to chew everything in sight!

When we caught up a few days ago, I asked them about their plans for Easter🪺, which is today. They told me all about it. One of the main things they’re looking forward to is the Easter egg hunt🥚🥚. They’ve already hidden chocolate eggs🍫🥚 around their garden🌳 and even inside a few unexpected spots in their new house🏡. The kids are already buzzing with anticipation, and they’ve prepared little baskets🪹 for collecting the eggs. They expect the dogs—and especially the mischievous puppy—to try and join in the fun too. It sounds like it’s going to be a chaotic but joy-filled morning!🌞

We also reminisced about our school days, shared some laughs over old memories and talked about how much life has changed since then.

Despite the years that have passed, it felt like we picked up right where we left off.

I am looking forward to seeing them again! 🤞🏻

Reminds me of one of my students 😂 you know who you are!!!

Yesterday at the game one of the participants wrote - “oriole”.

My lessons aren’t lessons

Guys, most of my students are surprised that our lessons are not like lessons at all. Especially adult students.

But also teens!

Education doesn’t have to be boring and scary and disrespectful.

I am sad that there aren’t enough competent teachers in our schools 😢

And I can’t change that.

🤍What I can change is to create safe spaces for people, where you can relax, stop being afraid and ashamed when you open your mouth.

I WANT to listen to you!

⚡Write “fearless” in the comments and I will send you my guide “How to overcome fear when speaking a foreign language”.

This is one of the basic rules I implemented into my routine recently.

I’ve always had a lot going on in my life, but I rarely stopped to observe, to feel, to comprehend and let everything digest .

Now I know that it’s vital for my mental health!

If I don’t do this, I end up being physically sick, absolutely overwhelmed and in some sort of compulsive behavior.

Rest is my priority. Because only from a place of relaxation I can manage my own reactions to situations that take place in my life.

I do not have control over the situations that happen, however, I can do my best in taking care of myself.

Which often means I need to

rest
and
digest.

🖌️What can you do today to relax and rest?

Here is a story about my work that includes the adjectives I shared with you yesterday (and some more).
⤵️⤵️⤵️
Teaching English to teenagers is full of surprises. I work online most of the time, but there’s one student who comes to my place for lessons, which always adds a nice change to my week.

Some days everything goes smoothly. The internet connection is stable, the lessons are well-paced, and even grammar explanations feel charming — almost enchanting — like language is a magical code we’re cracking together.

Other times, I feel a little anxious — maybe I’m apprehensive about whether the lesson plan will work, or restless after plenty of lessons. And then there are the moments when technology decides to be bossy — yes, domineering and overbearing — freezing screens, dropped calls, unexpected updates.

Still, my setup is reliable. My experience, my notes, my plans—they’re all trustworthy companions. And even when the day gets intense, I remind myself not to spoil the experience by overthinking. There’s a fine line between being well-prepared and pampering every little detail.

In the end, it’s about balance, creativity, and being present in the moment — whatever the lesson brings.

When I was in London in December for my 20-year school leavers' party, I met up with Rochelle—I actually stayed at her place for about three nights.

But that’s not when I interviewed her; that happened much later. I’m so glad I recorded it, and now you guys can listen to our conversation.

Imagine you just moved into a tiny apartment, so small that if you stretched out your arms, you would touch both walls. 🙀

Now, picture trying to spin around holding a cat (gently, of course! No real cats are harmed in this scenario). But—oh!—there’s barely enough space for you, let alone for a cat-swinging session!😹

That’s exactly what "no room to swing a cat" means—it describes a place so cramped that you can hardly move. Of course, it has nothing to do with actually swinging cats (phew!). It’s just a funny way to say, "This place is way too small!" 😻

What other words do you know to describe tiny spaces?

Harrods is a department store and Westfield is a shopping center in the UK.

What’s the difference?

A department store is a large retail store that sells a variety of products, all under one roof, but divided into separate departments (clothing, electronics, home goods, etc.).
Everything is owned and operated by the same company.

A shopping center (or mall) is a large complex with multiple individual stores. It houses many brands and businesses, including department stores, specialty shops, food courts, and sometimes entertainment areas.
Each store is owned separately.

Connect with my inner wisdom... or connect to my inner wisdom.

Which one is correct?🧐

Let's look at the difference between connect to and connect with.

✍🏻Connect to is used when talking about linking one thing to another, often physically or technically.

✍🏻Connect with is used when talking about relationships, emotions, and deeper understanding.

Examples:
I need to connect to Wi-Fi.
She connected to the speaker via Bluetooth.
I really connect with my best friend.

Meditation helps me connect with my inner self.

🤌🏻Speaking about Meditation - have you tried my 7-day Journaling Meditations?
If not, I highly recommend taking this time to deepen your connection with yourself.

Accent vs Pronunciation vs Dialect

Let's put these differences to bed!

✅Dialect includes everything - grammar+words+pronunciation.
In the UK, people in Liverpool speak the Scouse dialect, which has unique words and phrases different from Standard English.

✅Pronunciation is how words are spoken. Use the Cambridge dictionary to listen to different pronunciations. It usually includes UK and US versions, and sometimes even two UK options ☺️
Do you know the two pronunciations of the word "tomato"? Check here

✅Accent is how someone sounds when they speak, based on their pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.
An American, a British, and an Australian person may all speak English but with different accents.

🔔For English learners the most important thing is pronunciation - learning how to say the words correctly, so that people can understand you.

❎Don't worry about your accent.

Actually, here is a great self-reflective question:
💬why do non-native speakers want to sound like native speakers? Are we trying to blend it? Or do we want to pretend to be someone else?

P.s. more self-reflective questions here

I remember doing it! 😂😂😂

I and my student were doing an exercise about verbs. We were both surprised to see the words inquire and require next to one another.

💬I thought:
"It would be great to tell my followers about some words that sound similar!"

Here we are:
✅to Inquire – to ask for information (ask, question, investigate)
E.g. I would like to inquire about the price of this product.

✅to Acquire – to get or obtain something
E.g. She acquired a new language in just six months.

✅to Require – to need something
E.g. This job requires a lot of patience.

📍How to remember them:
Inquire → Information
Acquire → Achieve or obtain
Require → Really need

Some of you know that I am currently learning German, French and Latin - all at the same time!

I believed that German had the longest words ever! 🤯

📍But look at what I have found out:

➡️The longest word in the English language containing only one vowel letter - Strengths

➡️The longest word published in Oxford dictionary which means a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine ash and sand dust - Pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­conisis

➡️ The longest place names in England are Cottonshopeburnfoot and Blakehopeburnhaugh

➡️One of the longest words with no repeated letters - uncopyrightable

➡️One of the longest words with vowels only once and in order - tragediously.

➡️One of the longest words that is pronounced as one syllable (слог) - broughammed

🔥Who is brave enough to leave a voice message with an attempt to pronounce the above words?

I am helping a couple of students prepare for ✨the 11th class state exam✨.

Things that come up might seem obvious but when you are taking an exam - nothing is obvious anymore.

📍Here is a useful but short list of questions:

Distance - how far
Number or amount - how many
Duration - how long does…. last?
Location - where
Price - how much does … cost?
Working hours - when
Availability - (what) is/are available?

⬇️Do you have any other questions in mind?

Useful for vs useful to

Which one do you use in your daily speech?

(I do hope you try to speak English daily, even if you just talk to yourself - it’s good enough!)

⚡Useful for everyone - focuses on benefit or purpose. It means that everyone can use it for a purpose.

E.g. my Grammar Roadmap Guide is useful for everyone who wants to learn English grammar.

⚡Useful to everyone - focuses on value. It’s about feelings and perception.

E.g. my advice to switch their phones to English is useful to my students.

I had wanted to start my own Telegram channel for quite a while, but I wasn’t sure if it was the right time. I decided to think it over before making a big decision.

When I returned home on Monday, I found my flat in a total mess. I thought that all the energy I had just regained wouldn’t be enough to deal with the chaos.

I spent half the day cleaning, shopping, and cooking. But on top of that, I was struggling with my kids' behavior.

👧🏻My daughter was in a bad mood—angry and upset.
👦🏻My son was distant and detached.
🙀They were a tough crowd to communicate with.

It was a hard day, but I’m proud of myself because I managed to keep my voice calm and steady while communicating with my teens in a loving and respectful way.

I’m sure this was possible because I felt rejuvenated.

✅I also finished working on the interview, and I’m happy to present my first interview with a native speaker on the Upgrade Your Listening channel.

✍🏻Please comment and leave reactions—your feedback is much appreciated!

Last week was incredibly productive for me!

I had the opportunity to speak at a conference, conduct 2 interviews with native speakers, and make 3 valuable connections for networking and future collaborations.

All of this was possible because I spent a week away from home, free from my usual daily responsibilities, including managing my teenagers' needs. As every parent knows, raising kids is a full-time job—it requires not just time but also a great deal of mental and emotional energy.

At the same time, I’ve realized how important it is to carve out time for self-care. I truly appreciate "me" time, and I love being in the countryside. Even though I am away from home, I can reconnect with my parents, enjoy our conversations and shared meals. All of this restores my energy.

Today, I feel recharged and ready to continue supporting both myself and my teens.

If you're a teacher or a parent navigating the challenges of raising teenagers, I want you to know—you’re not alone.
I’m here to support you.

Feel free to message me @kate_mb

Next week at our Journaling Meditations sessions we’ll be reading, discussing and writing about healthy communications.

Monday and Wednesday at 9am.

Who wants in?

At our Journaling Meditation session today, we discussed the topic of aging.

We read a short, inspiring text about a lady who was sincerely interested in other people, open-minded about new ideas, and was learning fresh things all the time. She was fun to be around.

And yet, her life had never been easy.
But she had this attitude: It’s fun to be alive!💃

After the reading, we journaled. I wrote about accepting the age I am. My writing turned out to be incredibly eye-opening. Through it, I discovered a deep-seated belief that had been hidden from me but was influencing all my interactions.❤️‍🩹

Leave a + in the comments, and I’ll share my writing with you!

Yesterday, I held my first interview with a native English speaker, Debra, who lives in Oregon, USA. I planned for our conversation to last 15 minutes, and the topic was hobbies.

However, before I knew it, 15 minutes had passed, and Debra had only described one of her hobbies! Time flew by! As a result, we agreed to do a series of interviews.

Today, I’m going to interview another friend of mine, Rochelle, who lives in London, UK.

Can you take a wild guess what the topic will be?

Sign up for Upgrade Your Listening channel—I’ll be posting these interviews and more! Plus, there will be a useful document with expressions used by the speakers and a vocabulary list.

Today, I delivered a speech at the Language Conference.

📍You can watch it here: Part 1 and Part 2.

I was very excited to share my experience and knowledge on the topic: "How to Work with Teenagers."

Right before the conference, I spoke with my son, and he laughed, "I don't think you know how."

😄That made me happy and relaxed for 2 reasons:

1. The fact that he can say that to me says a lot.😉
2. Being a teacher and being a mother are two completely different roles.

Anyway, I was ready for this networking opportunity, as the conference was held for language teachers.

I tried to engage the audience at the end, and after I finished recording my talk, there was a short Q&A session.

I don't have much time these days, but I have 2 spots available for any teacher or parent who needs help managing their teenagers.

Message me for more details and like this post to support my work!

P.s. take a look at some useful expressions highlighted in bold in this text.

In preparation for tomorrow’s conference, I asked one of my teen students what tips he would give teachers.

Here are some tips from a teen:

1️⃣Be friendly. If you can, become friends.
2️⃣Don’t be judgmental. Neither in words, nor in facial expressions.
3️⃣Don’t punish.
4️⃣Don’t give homework to someone who doesn’t do homework.
5️⃣ Don’t say what they don’t want to hear (or aren’t ready to hear).

That’s it!

I feel like these rules can be applied to any type of healthy communication.

Let it be.
Let the voices be silent.
Let the silence soothe.
Let it be.
Let all colors be vibrant.
Let every one's voice be a fuse.
Let it be.
Let others speak their mind.
Let all the stars come aligned.
Let it be.
Let love be blind forever and a day.
Let the heart feel what it wants.
Let it be.
Let the shy people be bold.
Let the children dream their own future to hold.
Let everyone with doubts have peace of mind.
Let everything be where it lays and no more found to find.
Let it be.
Let all negativity cease.
Let everything be still, where it is still it is peace.
Let the mornings be bright and full of joy.
Let the nights be quiet and mellow.
Let it be.
Let the small be big and the big small.
Let everyone with a voice speak with a beckoning call.
Let it be.
And let that be all.

Kayla. "Let It Be." Family Friend Poems, November 11, 2018.

She needs to let him go!
Or let him out.
Or even kick him out 🙈

Agree?

Let is an irregular verb.
Let-let-let in all tenses.

Popular let’s actually means “let us”. Did you know this?

Couple of expressions:
To let on - to pretend, to lie, to fabricate.
There are other meanings of this phrasal verb, but I want to share this specific one with you.

E.g. She let on that she was a famous singer but nobody in the bar had ever heard of her.

To let someone off the hook - is used to describe when someone helps us or allows us to avoid a responsibility or something that we do not want to do.

E.g. I was supposed to be working an extra shift today but luckily my work has let me off the hook and I can rest instead!
