KIDS SQUEALING, laughing, throwing things and completely squashing me . . . 

Aaaagggghhhh . . . it was crazy!!  But I SURVIVED.  And you will, too.

"Just thinking about it won't show you what you can do. You have to actually DO IT, and then you'll see what you're capable of."  (Adriana Chowaniok) 

Adriana didn't trust herself;  she was worried that she wouldn't be able to share her language with children, and discovered that in fact, she WAS capable and the children LOVED it!

Having moved from Argentina to Australia almost 30 years ago, Adriana has been combining working as an Early Childhood Educator with sharing her Spanish language and culture with the children (both at childcare and in her own sessions) in a variety of ways.  

This is a really practical episode, with tips and strategies that you'll want to work on right away!

Being bilingual yourself, you already know about the wonderful benefits of exposure to new languages, and you've likely seen those benefits in your own children.

IF you are still just thinking about this idea of running your own sessions

There's nothing like hearing someone else's story, someone who's already passed through what we're going through, to make us realise that we're not alone in our fears and desires, and that it's possible to achieve our dreams a little step at a time, starting from nothing.

Does anyone else cringe at the idea of marketing?  We don't want to market, right?  We just want to be creative and design amazing language experiences that empower and delight those who join us .  But here's the thing . . . who are we creating those experiences for if nobody knows what we do?  Well I have an idea that will change the feel of "marketing" into something that feels like a celebration.  Now that sounds more fun!  Tune in to discover this little mind trick.

Getting from just having an idea bumbling around in the back of your mind, to actually making your idea REAL isn't as hard as it might seem.

There are only 3 questions that you need to ask yourself to know if you're capable of starting your own language sessions, and I think you'll be surprised at how simple they are.

Ooooh, now that sounds a bit scary.  Saying YES to opportunities without having experience/a detailed plan/comprehensive preparation . . . are you kidding?  Well, let me share with you my own experiences with saying YES to opportunities in growing my own language biz, and how they turned out (you just know that I'm going to encourage you to do the same, don't you ;-).  

This one step is probably the easiest part of getting started, and once you take it, the momentum that is created will fire up your own enthusiasm to actually start planning a real session!   You can take this step BEFORE you have any idea about how or where or when or even IF you actually start.
