Hello there! In this week’s newsletter, I’d like to invite you to join the Nick’s English Group<\/a> on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I already have a page<\/a> on Facebook, but I really want to create a community, and starting a group seems to be the best way to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the group for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Announcing everything I make, i.e. <\/em><\/strong>(that is) videos, worksheets and blog posts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Asking group members for their opinions and suggestions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Setting mini English challenges;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Highlight interesting English words and expressions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Replying to member posts and comments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What about other social media?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To be honest, there are too many different platforms. It’s overwhelming<\/em><\/strong> (too much to handle), and I often feel as though I’m speaking into the wind<\/em><\/strong> because very few people see my posts. I’ll just use them for important announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Private Lessons – Discount!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
