A few years ago, shortly after I started my business, a young woman contacted me, saying she needed some practice with her English for work. She had quite a senior position in the HR department of a big and successful company. She wanted to improve her spoken English for interviewing candidates, speaking on the phone and so on.

We were about the same age, we both had young children and some shared interests and we enjoyed working together. At some point we realized that we both wanted to do some more  physical exercise and found it challenging to fit it into our busy schedules (on top of work, kids and, well... life

So, we decided to have our meetings outdoors, to learn/teach while walking in nature! While walking, we used to speak and conduct phone call simulations and interview simulations, all in English. It was an extraordinary experience - we both enjoyed these walking sessions so much, feeling we managed to kill two birds with one stone. 

I like to think of it as creative teaching. I believe, that teaching should not be restricted to the traditional books and classroom, as there are countless ways to practice a language.
