A New Academic Year at LinguaCom: Growth, Language, and Possibility
I always notice September.
For me, it carries the scent of sharpened pencils, the sound of pages turning, and the hum of anticipation that comes with new beginnings. In Israel, it’s also coincides with the start of the Jewish year.
At LinguaCom,each autumn, we welcome a new group of professionals — IT experts, academics, entrepreneurs, leaders of non-profits. They arrive not just to study English, but to grow professionally. And what strikes me most, year after year, is the diversity of ways in which growth happens here.

Learning Through Stories
We often begin with something simple: stories. A learner tells us about a holiday, an early career challenge, or a project they are proud of. These stories become the raw material for professional branding. When told clearly and confidently in English, they transform from anecdotes into assets.
Grammar That Reflects Life
Grammar, too, is alive in the studio. Perfect tenses help connect past achievements to present roles. Conditionals open doors to imagining futures. Even those small “hot verbs” make, take, do, get become the language of communication at work.
This is never grammar for grammar’s sake.
Simulations of the Real World
Some days, the studio feels like a stage. Mock interviews prepare learners for high-stakes conversations. TED-style talks help them step into the role of thought leaders. Debates challenge them to sharpen not only their English but their ideas.
I’ve seen how these simulations dissolve fear. By the time learners enter an actual boardroom or interview, they carry the calm knowledge: I’ve already done this.
Diversity Creates Resilience
The richness of our activities mirrors the richness of professional life:
🎧 Listening to authentic podcasts and workplace dialogues
📖 Reading articles, case studies, and academic texts
🎥 Watching and analyzing TED Talks
✍️ Writing emails, reports, and proposals
🗣️ Engaging in debates, roleplays, and storytelling
This diversity matters. It keeps learning dynamic, and it equips professionals with the adaptability needed in a global workplace.
A Community That Shapes Confidence
Perhaps what I value most is the community. Each year, learners come together not only to study, but to support one another. In their laughter, in their mistakes, in their progress, I see a shared resilience.
Growth happens in community, through dialogue and connection.
Happy September!
