This week, we shared an article exploring some of Europe’s strangest and most chaotic traditions used to welcome the arrival of spring. From masked figures and symbolic violence to noisy parades and ritualised disorder, these customs reveal how communities have historically marked the end of winter and the beginning of renewal.
Building on this fascinating topic, we’ve created a new ✨ speaking pack ✨. It includes discussion questions based on the article, opportunities to explore spring traditions from different cultures, and a structured exam-style speaking task. What a nice way to kick off this spring with your study buddy!

Sofia: I remember that the decision to end my seven-year-old relationship did not come easily to me. That was not due to the amount of time I put in — though the fact that my failed love story was practically a second-grader did discourage me — but the fear that I would never find anyone else ready to date not only me but also the army of demons my twisted mind possessed (and still does). My demons and I, unfortunately, come as a package deal.
Yet post-breakup I found out that boyfriends are not that hard to come by. Sure, the quality of candidates may lack at times, but Moscow still has its share of decent enough guys to go out with.
What proved truly difficult to find in my not-so-early thirties is not romance but sincere, deep friendships. Mona Chalabi, an award-winning writer and a host of a ‘Am I Normal?’ podcast, agrees. The video I picked to base my lesson materials on addresses this very question (how to make friends when you’re a grown-up) and raises even a more interesting one (how to keep friends we already have). Take a look — I promise you, it will be well worth your while!
Today, I have shared a personal storyno one asked for yet again. Since you have suffered through another one of my pensive pieces, you definitely deserve a treat. And I have just that for you: a set of speaking tasks based on the video and a quizlet set with interesting vocabulary from this same episode. Hope you enjoy!
P.S. I know I don’t say it enough but I am grateful for each every one of my friends. Who else would agree to hang out with my demons so much?

As the days grow longer and the first flowers appear, many of us feel inspired to start new projects, habits, or goals. But in English, there isn’t just one way to say begin. Advanced learners often notice that a wide variety of verbs denote to starting something — yet each carries its own nuance.
In this post, we’ll break down the meanings and typical contexts of five verbs, initiate, inaugurate, launch, undertake, and kick off, showing how they differ in formality, tone, and usage. Think of it as a small linguistic “spring cleaning”: refreshing your vocabulary so you can choose exactly the right word when talking about new initiatives, projects, or events.

Sofia: Let’s talk about women, shall we?
I know how different you — we — are. Many daily manage the unmanageable and multitask the unmultitaskable, be it a parent-teacher meeting, business negotiations, thesis, chores, or just another day of juggling and trying to ‘have it all’. Being caught up in the everyday routine (I should know), we forget how complex, intelligent, strong and beautiful we all are. Let’s take a moment (or ten) to slow down, smell the hypothetical roses and do what we often fail to get round to — acknowledge our achievements, big and small. And in the crazy world of today, even getting up in the morning is already enough of an accomplishment, is it not?
Today, I want to share a selection of the films and books with amazing female characters. Some of them are heroes, others are anti-heroes, some are tomboyish, others are unapologetically feminine, most are just beautifully messy and relatable. I think today of all days, we should celebrate them all.
Lots of love to all of our language-enthusiastic ladies! What are your favourite female characters? Share in the comments!
