MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES FROM TEACHERS: FUELING INSPIRATION
Throughout September, we asked our teachers to share their favourite motivational quotes. These pearls of wisdom weren’t just about language learning but also about instilling a sense of confidence, perseverance, and curiosity in students.
Here are some of the uplifting and thoughtful quotes shared by our teachers:

Translation- A smile costs less than electricity. but gives as much light
Teaching languages is not just my job; it's my passion.
I find joy in every word, every phrase, and every moment when a student discovers the beauty of a new language. It's more than just teaching-it's sharing the world with others, one language at a time.

From the power of persistence to the joy of discovering new cultures through language, our teachers shared quotes that reflect their passion for education and their commitment to helping students succeed. These quotes have been shared across our social media platforms, inspiring both students and fellow educators.

Who doesn’t love learning a bit more about their teachers beyond the classroom? From Thai curries to Chinese dumplings, we asked our teachers about their favourite dishes.
Here are some of the delicious dishes shared by our teachers that you can try next:

GOOGLE REVIEWS: SHINING A LIGHT ON TEACHER APPRECIATION

These reviews highlighted the dedication and expertise that Skill Live’s teachers bring to the table.
TEACHING TIPS AND METHODS: MAKING LEARNING EASY AND FUN
Our teachers constantly innovate and evolve their methods to make foreign language learning engaging. Throughout September, we gathered insights from our educators on the various techniques they use in the classroom.
Dhanashree, our Spanish teacher, believes that one of the best ways to teach foreign languages to kids is by connecting concepts through their local languages.
Mansi Shah, our French teacher, shares an innovative tip from her classroom experience: using an app on the iPad called Draw and Tell. "The students and parents loved it," she says, as it allowed students to record themselves speaking in the target language while describing pictures they created.
Jaishree, our Spanish teacher from Ahmedabad, shares one of her class favorites: the song "Marcha / March | Kindergarten & Preschool Games & Fun | Spanish for Kids" by SingALingo. "The kids enjoyed it the most in my Spanish class," she says. Through this lively song, students learn basic action words like walk, dance, jump, and run while having fun acting out the lyrics. A perfect way to blend music with language learning!
By focusing on making learning both fun and informative, our teachers ensure that students are not only learning a new language but also enjoying the journey.
