In part 2 I described Christophe's shift from "Doing a presentation in English" to truly expressing himself.
In helping him communicate more confidently and convincingly in English, we did NOT start with grammar!
We started with his presentationsโand built from there.
๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:
1๏ธโฃ ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ & ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐
ย โข We reviewed his presentations in detailโspotting parts where meaning was unclear or diluted.ย
ย โข We corrected errors, but more importantly, we restructured the speech for greater clarity, precision, and energy.
2๏ธโฃ ๐ฃ๐ต๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐
ย โข We explored alternative vocabularyโmore positive, more precise, more personalโso his message would resonate emotionally, not just factually.
3๏ธโฃ ๐๐น๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
ย โข We looked at how to reorder informationโboth on the slides and in his speechโgiving key points more emphasis and impact to guide the audience.
4๏ธโฃ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒย
We created a system that worked for him.
The goal? To embed these shifts naturallyโuse the new language and techniques without overthinking.
โขย ย Personalised corrections, suggestions and tips
โขย ย Simple study cards
โขย ย Regular reviews
My ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐น๐ณย system isnโt about โfixingโ someoneโs speech.
Itโs about helping people express themselves authentically and effectively, so they can move others and make a difference.
Thatโs exactly what Christophe is doing!
Every multilingual learner has their own mix of challenges and strengths, but with motivation, time, and effort, they can find their English voice.
The journey doesnโt have to be a struggle. With the right support, learners move forward much faster โ and enjoy it, discovering practical tools and useful language insights along the way.
If you're navigating English as a second (or third) language, I'd love to hear what you've enjoyed about it.
