Rants, Ramblings, and Reflections from an ESL Teacher

Ep. 25 – “Correct” Language isn’t Enough (Tone)


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking about something that doesn’t show up on your grammar test but definitely shows up in real life: tone. Yep, that invisible thing that makes your message sound friendly… or accidentally rude… or suspiciously like it was written by a robot. I share a personal story (featuring heartbreak and AI), and explain why tone matters just as much as vocabulary—especially when emotions are involved. Whether you’re writing to a teacher, a friend, or someone you almost dated, this one’s for you.
