English language consultant
Chances are, if English is your second language, you speak with an accent. Is this a problem? No, not if your listeners can easily understand you. However, if people often ask you to repeat what you have said, or worse, say, 'Don't worry about it', when it is obvious they can't understand what you are saying, then I can help. Do you know that your accent may be what is stopping you from securing that deal, getting that promotion, or that job you are qualified for? I can help- I will analyze your speech, tell you what is happening, why it is happening, and most importantly help you to fix it! I am a qualified English language teacher, have a language school here in Christchurch and am passionate about helping people whose second language is English to be understood the first time. Sessions can be online or face-to-face. Call Lisa on 022 010 5288 for a chat about how I can help you.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngāruawāhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
