2024 Review - the Business Side

 

2024 reinforced that the best language learning happens at the intersection of structure and creativity, whether teaching elementary students or pursuing my own language journey in Mandarin, German, and Japanese.

This year proved that systematic approaches combined with innovative methods create the most impactful learning experiences. From implementing new project management techniques in curriculum development to discovering how multiple learning platforms can complement each other, each step forward has enhanced both my teaching and personal growth.

Key developments in 2024:

• Obtained Google Foundations of Project Management certification

• Expanded Adelante! Spanish for All program reach

• Advanced Spanish grammar studies at local college

• Developed comprehensive approach to Mandarin learning through multiple platforms

• Integrated project management principles into curriculum design

My daily routine now includes structured learning (Yoyo Chinese, Mandarin Blueprint, Skritter) balanced with creative immersion (live classes, cultural studies, lots of Cdramas!). This combination has proven invaluable both for my personal growth and for developing more effective teaching methods.

Looking ahead: 2025 will focus on expanding language learning opportunities through structured yet creative approaches, while applying new project management skills to educational initiatives. The goal remains clear - making language learning accessible, enjoyable, and effective for both students and educators.

To every educator balancing teaching with continuous learning: your dedication to growth enriches every lesson you teach. The structure supports us, but the creativity transforms us.
