☺️ Online VS Offline English Clubs: unbiased review

Anyone still interested in offline education? Weirdly enough, @ybeymlina is. She's even looking for an offline Vietnamese teacher in DN. Could be of Russian, English, or Vietnamese origin, the main requirement is a strong methodological approach. So if you know one, please recommend. With this in mind, she has attended 4 local English speaking clubs to compare their vibes to online offerings. Here're her findings

➕ Pros of offline English clubs

🫧Great to get unglued from the screen after a long day
🫧You really get to see that the attendees have legs!
🫧Nice coconut drinks 🥥 served
🫧Sunset ocean breeze on your face, when not hosted in a stuffy room
🫧Good place to make friends to catch up for brunches after the club

➖ Cons of offline English clubs

🫧It gets quite loud and hard to hear people speak, also you get to shout at the top of your lungs. Good training for primary school teachers, though
🫧Low individual speaking time. Since there are no Zoom break out rooms to speak in pairs, the whole group listens to a few most domineering speakers (usually, it's Yulia)
🫧You only get to practice what you already know, without learning much new. Typically, there're questions to discuss, but no vocabulary input or pronunciation drills involved
🫧No feedback from the facilitator

Overall, there're 5 Pros and 4 Cons of offline English clubs 😂 If you set out to make new friends and socially unwind, opt for offline clubs. If your goal is to boost up your vocabulary and speaking skills from Intermediate+ level and above, our online club is the choice

Execution: disambiguation (3 use cases)

Yesterday, after publishing the video "Public Speaking: from ideas to execution," a friend of @ybeymlina reached out asking:

"Execution is killing something, right? You wanna kill ideas, wtf?"

Here's our public clarification. Spoiler: No, we don't kill ideas

Let’s break down execution:

🫧Etymology

From Latin exsequi = ex- (“out, completely”) + sequi (“to follow”)
Core sense: “carrying out, following through”

🫧Key Meanings

1. Carrying out a plan / order
execution of a contract, plan, duty = putting it into action

2. Legal punishment, death 🧛
the execution of the prisoner = killing as a penalty

3. Computing
program execution = running code on a computer

So the core thread = “carrying something through to the end" Sometimes it ends in a result (contract done, program runs), sometimes in a death (punishment)
