I metodi tradizionali con me non hanno funzionato. Sono uscita dal liceo dopo tredici anni di inglese con ancora tanto, troppo, da imparare. Il mio modo di comunicare era basico e meccanico, il che mi faceva sentire spesso a disagio. Sognavo di esprimermi liberamente, senza rinunciare a tutte le sfumature che una lingua possiede e stabilendo connessioni più profonde con le persone, ma non ci riuscivo. Mi ci è voluto del tempo per capire che dovevo lasciar perdere la traduzione letterale e iniziare a pensare in inglese.

Per aiutare anche voi a fare lo stesso, ho sviluppato un metodo di apprendimento nuovo. Si basa sulla scoperta dei modi di dire, delle espressioni e dello slang che ho imparato durante le mie esperienze all'estero, una figuraccia dietro l'altra! Perché solo padroneggiando quelli potrete finalmente comprendere qualunque conversazione ed esprimervi come vorreste.

Ve ne propongo uno al giorno, per tutto l'arco dell'anno, accompagnato dai miei amatissimi memory tips, fun facts ed esempi di vita reale. Vi porterò con me in un percorso alla scoperta dell'inglese che parlano i madrelingua, totalmente diverso da quello che viene insegnato a scuola. Perché nello studio delle lingue cambiare prospettiva non solo è possibile, ma offre anche risultati migliori. Gli unici ingredienti che vi servono sono un pizzico di costanza, una buona dose di curiosità e tanta voglia di mettervi in gioco.

Iniziate il percorso oggi stesso e vedrete. Con pochi minuti al giorno, costruiremo insieme il vocabolario che vi permetterà di accedere a nuove opportunità di intrattenimento, lavoro e relazione.

Tra aneddoti, consigli, contenuti bonus e cruciverba, in 365 giorni la missione potrà dirsi compiuta: addio inglese da libro di testo, benvenuto everyday English!
