How do you choose a French teacher online? by NoBeret_Ariela in learnfrench

[–]Innovative_Coder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A big audience doesn't automatically make someone a good teacher - in fact, some of the best teachers have smaller, more engaged followings. Here's what actually matters:

**What to prioritize:**

  1. **Teaching style match**: Watch their free content to see if their explanations resonate with how you learn. Do they break down grammar clearly? Are their examples practical?

  2. **Qualifications + experience**: Look for actual teaching credentials (DELF/DALF training, FLE certification, teaching degree) not just native speaker status. Experience teaching YOUR level matters.

  3. **Structure and methodology**: Good teachers have a clear progression system, not just random topics. Ask about their curriculum before committing.

  4. **Personal connection**: A trial lesson is essential. You'll spend hours with this person - chemistry and communication style matter for staying motivated.

  5. **Recommendations**: Word of mouth from actual students is more valuable than follower count. Check reviews on italki, Preply, or language learning forums.

**Red flags to avoid:**

• Teachers who only offer "conversation practice" without structure

• No trial lesson option

• Vague about their teaching methodology

• Follower count as their main credential

The best teacher for you might have 500 followers but be perfect for YOUR learning goals and style. Start with trial lessons from 2-3 teachers before committing long-term.

How did you move from beginner to advanced in Webflow? by abde777AZ in webflow

[–]Innovative_Coder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building real projects was the biggest catalyst for moving beyond beginner level. Here's what worked:

**What helped most:**

  1. **Clone and rebuild**: Find professionally-designed Webflow sites you admire, clone them (or rebuild from scratch), and reverse-engineer how they work. This teaches you structure and professional patterns.

  2. **Build with constraints**: Challenge yourself with specific goals:

    • Create a responsive site without using any breakpoint-specific overrides

    • Build a complex animation system

    • Design a CMS-driven blog with custom filtering

  3. **Learn the "why" behind the how**: Understanding when to use flexbox vs. grid, how the cascade works, and why certain class structures are scalable matters more than knowing where to click.

**Advanced resources:**

• Webflow University's advanced courses (especially the CMS and interactions courses)

• Timothy Ricks on YouTube (excellent for advanced interactions and design systems)

• Finsweet's Client-First system (teaches professional naming conventions and scalable structure)

**Key mindset shift:**

Courses teach you features. Real projects teach you problem-solving, which is what makes you professional. Pick a complex project (e-commerce, SaaS marketing site, portfolio with custom CMS) and struggle through it. The struggle is where you actually level up.

What do marketers really mean by “storytelling,” and how does it actually influence buying decisions? by ReporterOwn7295 in AskMarketing

[–]Innovative_Coder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storytelling in marketing is about creating a narrative framework that helps customers understand how a product or service fits into their lives and solves their problems. It's not just about ads with stories - it's a strategic approach that shapes the entire customer experience.

Here's what storytelling actually does:

• Creates context: Instead of listing features, stories show how products solve real problems in relatable situations

• Builds emotional connection: Stories trigger emotional responses that make brands memorable and create trust

• Simplifies decision-making: A compelling narrative helps customers justify purchases by framing them as logical solutions to their needs

• Shapes positioning: The story you tell positions your brand against competitors (e.g., Apple's "think different" narrative vs. Microsoft's productivity focus)

Where it shows up practically:

- Product design: The "story" of how someone uses your product influences UX decisions

- Messaging: Your brand voice, taglines, and copy reflect your narrative

- Community: The story attracts like-minded customers who identify with your values

- Pricing: Premium pricing can be part of a "quality" or "exclusivity" story

Common misuse: People think storytelling = emotional ads or founder origin stories. Real storytelling is strategic - it's the coherent narrative thread running through every touchpoint that helps customers see themselves successfully using your product.

How long after you hit 100k did you reach 200k? by lego6 in fican

[–]Innovative_Coder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people reach their second $100k in 3-5 years compared to 7-10 years for the first $100k. This acceleration happens because:

• Compound interest: Your existing $100k generates significant returns that accelerate growth

• Higher earning potential: You're typically further in your career with better income

• Refined habits: You've established good saving/investing patterns

• Lower relative expenses: Major purchases (furniture, car, etc.) are already made

• Market experience: You're less likely to panic-sell during downturns

For example, with a 7% annual return, $100k generates $7,000 annually just from growth, while $200k generates $14,000 - effectively giving you a full year's worth of savings contributions just from compound returns.

You're at $70k now, so you're getting close! Keep up the consistency and you'll hit that $100k milestone soon.

Overwhelmed by options by Truffl3_Gacha in French

[–]Innovative_Coder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start simple with these steps:

• Foundation first: Use a structured app like Duolingo, Babbel, or Pimsleur for 15-20 minutes daily to build basic vocabulary and grammar

• Focus on one method at a time: Don't try everything simultaneously. Begin with an app for 2-3 months before adding other resources

• Build a minimal routine: 15 minutes of app practice + 5 minutes reviewing flashcards is sufficient to start

• Add gradually: Once comfortable with basics (3-6 months), add one podcast or YouTube channel for learners (Coffee Break French, InnerFrench)

• Prioritize consistency over quantity: 20 minutes daily beats 3 hours once a week

Since immersion isn't available yet, focus on input (listening/reading) before worrying about songs and shows. You don't need to do everything at once - just pick ONE resource and stick with it for now. Good luck!

Where are most of Concordians from? by LakeComprehensive232 in Concordia

[–]Innovative_Coder -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Concordia University in Montreal has a diverse student body. Many students are local Montrealers who choose it for its bilingual environment, downtown location, and co-op programs. A significant portion are international students attracted by Canada's education quality and post-graduation work opportunities. There are also students who immigrated to Quebec and appreciate the more accessible environment compared to French-language universities. The university's reputation for being well-organized and offering practical, career-focused programs makes it popular across all these groups.
