Kristine asks: "Right now, I'm trying to manage growing pains. I have students/clients information in different locations (spreadsheets, Teachable, Mailchimp), and I want to find a centralized place to manage students' contact information securely as well as manage all the touchpoints I have had with students (lessons, communication, surveys, promotions, etc.) Can you recommend a method for achieving this? Perhaps a free or paid CRM program?"

What's a Fair Price to Pay Online Language Teachers?

Irina Pravet: Creating an Online Program for Learners of All Levels
This episode I speak with Irina Pravet, who is one of my favourite people in the world. She always has such a calming approach to things and it’s an absolute joy any time I get to speak with her.
As we discuss a little in the interview, we first met back in 2014 at the Polyglot Conference in Novi Sad, during an abnormally warm October. As well as meeting at various events since then, and Irina speaking at Women in Language (which, sidenote, will be back later this year, just a little heads up there), Irina very kindly took some time to teach me an intro to the notorious Finnish cases, which I promise aren’t as bad as it seems at first.
In this conversation, I ask Irina how she organises her Finnish Through New Eyes program, designed for learners at various levels. The one thing they do have in common? Living in Finland.

Teach a Lesson on my YouTube Channel!
Hey! Welcome back to a brief and slightly different episode of Teach Languages Online, not really an episode at all, more of an update. After what it’s fair to say was an unexpected break. When coronavirus decided to make a name for itself, something had to be put on pause to allow me to be there to best help learners and teachers navigate this weird time, and unfortunately the podcast was one of those things. So apologies for that but I’m sure you can understand why.
I want to make videos for my YouTube channel with you.
What’s the thing that people think is difficult about the language you teach? What’s the question you always get answered? Teach me!
Of course, there’ll be a link back to your own website in the comments so it’s a great chance to share your wisdom with a whole new group of people as well.
If you’re interested, there’s a short form to fill out at lindsaydoeslanguages.com/shareyourteaching and let’s arrange a time to speak soon.
Stay safe, and look out for the next episode of the podcast coming soon.

Science Stuff: Theory of Multiple Intelligences with Ash
What's the Theory of Multiple Intelligences and is it useful for teaching? Or is it as useful as knowing which Disney Princess you are on a Buzzfeed quiz? In this episode, I bring Ash back to discuss Howard Gardener's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and see why it might not be the best thing for educators...
To confirm, we're not denying Gardener's MI theory in this episode, more so it's relation to the classroom (virtual or otherwise!). I urge you to listen to the experts on this as well! For a conversation that doesn't lean into Disney Princesses, check the Conversations with Alanis Morissette episode with Howard Gardener: https://alanis.com/news/podcast-episode-11-conversation-with-howard-gardner
Howard Gardener's response to mixing "multiple intelligences" with "learning styles": https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2013/10/16/howard-gardner-multiple-intelligences-are-not-learning-styles/?noredirect=on

Interview: Devy Baseley on Blending Online Teaching with Offline Events
Devy Baseley is the lovely human behind French Speak, her company teaching French in Brisbane, Australia and online. I've worked with Devy for over a year now on my teacher coaching packages and am always impressed by how she combines the offline with the online! That's why I invited her onto the podcast - to share that with you. If you've ever found yourself trapped feeling like online teaching is the Holy Grail and offline sucks, think again. Listen in to learn about how Devy finds success with her local meet up groups and retreats in France.

Interview: Elfin Waters on Using Instagram to Connect Like a Human When Teaching Languages Online
I'm delighted this episode to chat with Elfin Waters about how she uses Instagram to promote her online teaching and reach new students. But "promote" feels like the wrong word. What Elfin does is all about connections - real human connections. So if you've ever had Instagram overwhelm and just dismissed it as a vapid platform for the self-obsessed selfie generation, think again...
Here's the link to Elfin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allaboutitalian/
Elfin is also co-hosting an online course called Instagram for Language Learners. Find out more here: https://www.elenamutonono.com/instagram/
