Foreign Language Roadmap

Ever struggled to stay motivated or consistent in your language learning journey? Understanding the Beckhard-Harris Change Equation can be a game-changer! It reveals how dissatisfaction with your current situations, in our case, language skills, a clear vision of our goals, practical steps to get there, and overcoming challenges can propel you forward. Join me as we explore how embracing change can keep you inspired and on track to mastering a new language! FLR - https://lgelena.com/courses/foreign-language-roadmap/   Formula, as promised to those who are interested: C = (ABD) > X  C = Change that we need  A = Dissatisfaction with the current situation  B = The vision of the desired outcome D = Practical steps needed to get there X = Cost of change 

Today is another one of those episodes where I have a guest to share with you yet another useful tool or technique. Let’s meet Francesca. Her approach has been attracting me for a long time because not only she is an amazing person and she teaches italian but she also uses unique abilities of our brain through neurolanguage methods to make sure that everyone gets results while working with her. Francesca is an Italian native speaker, (born and raised in Italy), certified Neurolanguage Coach, and an practitioner of EFT (emotional freedom techniques), who specializes in helping English speakers to become FLUENT in Italian through her unique ITALIAN FLUENCY EXPANSION METHOD, which combines Nervous system regulation and mindset work, language learning strategies and a brain friendly approach to learning Italian based on Neuroscience. Francesca doesn’t only help you to learn the language, but also how to support and regulate your nervous system through mindset work and EFT tapping so you can speak Italian with ease, without any fear of making mistakes or embarrassment.
