Love her or hate her - Von der Leyen can command a room.

And doing that when English isn’t your native language is hard, no matter how long you’ve spoken it.

Because it’s not just about vocabulary, language or structure, nor is at about your level (think: have you ever cared if Von der Leyen did her IELTS or passed a C1 exam?) It’s also about pace, tone and intonation.

And to do that well you have to discover what your voice is when you speak English…

Which is exactly what I help my students do, as an English for Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy tutor.

So if you see yourself delivering these big speeches one day but still have English that people ignore, start learning with me.

Where can you talk about International Organisations, World Crisis, World Leaders & more WHILE learning English?

In lessons with me.

These are just some of the lessons I have taught recently. Each of them are designed around each of my students based on who they are and who they want to be, while also being created based on my knowledge and experience in both my own international human rights career and teaching English as a foreign language.

Because it’s not enough to learn a definition.
It’s not enough to pause randomly in your speeches.
Nor is it enough to just watch speeches and debates with subtitles.

Because in Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy, everything works differently.

So your English should too.

The European Commission is currently trying to push through an English-only trade deal.

And yes, this matters.

If you were to ask a lawyer if you should read a contract before or after signing it, they would tell you to read it before.

So, even though the agreement will be translated after it has been signed, it doesn’t represent a truly accessible and democratic decision - as it has to be understood, fully, by everyone.

And translation apps and systems only get so far (which I see every single day).

So, I would normally present two choices to you: learn English for Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy OR advocate for your language to be just as important on the world stage.

But, I say that you can do both.

I say that you should studying English for Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy TO ADVOCATE for your language on the world stage.

& you can do that with me.

So, what do you think?

Fast and English-only? Or slow and inclusive?

It may be unpopular to say this, but yes - English is still the dominant language of Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy.

If it wasn’t, then the majority of Diplomatic Services wouldn’t make you sit an English exam.
If it wasn’t, then the major International Organisations wouldn’t use English as their working language.
If it wasn’t, then I wouldn’t have a job.

That doesn’t mean I think that English is better than any other language. In fact, I believe the opposite.

I am a native English speaker who has dedicated their career to Human Rights across the world - so I have always known that being a British-born woman has given me the privilege to walk through any door that I want.

And instead of just letting myself benefit, I want to help others too.

I want to help you walk through any door that you want, which starts with recognising that English is not a skill - but a necessity, and a tool.

So, if you want to bring your voice to the Next World Order, you need English that puts you, your community and your country in rooms that you should be in.

And you can do that by studying English for Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy with me. Right now, I have spaces for 1:1 students to study with me - but not for long!

On top of that, you can experience learning with me in a FREE Trial Lesson.

Idioms in Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy are proven to make audiences connect with a speaker (which is something I go through in detail with my students).

And so it is no surprise that the British Prime Minister uses Political Idioms frequently. In fact, across all the interviews and speeches I analysed, he used “point scoring”, “finger pointing” and “political capital” many times!

Because he has built a Political English Persona that uses these idioms to connect with his audience.

And if you are a non-native English speaker who works/studies in Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy and want to find out how you can do the same:

Everything about the world of Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy is different, including English.

Any English teacher can teach you some idioms that are useful to use or will help you sound more “natural”

But I teach you how, when and why idioms are used in politics discourse, and how to do it yourself.

Just like the President of Finland

Macron’s English has made him go viral for the wrong reasons.

And when he visits the UK in a moment of huge cultural importance, his English doesn’t.

But that’s the world of Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy.

If someone disagrees with you, they’re waiting for a reason to laugh at you, so don’t let it be your English!

So, after a long summer you’ve realise that your English is not like it was before…but there’s no need to panic.

Because you don’t need to wait until your big meeting, conference, negotiation or interview to practise your English for Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy.

You can start now!

By developing your skills listening to Political Podcasts, watching World Leaders and more.

But most importantly, practising.

Practising with an English tutor who won’t teach you “Normal” or “General” English - but English FOR Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy.

With lessons on Human Rights, Defense, War, How IO’s Work, AI & so much more, we design lessons around our students and their goals. Because no, “normal” English Lessons won’t help you when their only goal is to help you pass a “General” exam…and your ambitions are so much bigger than that.

Which is exactly why we are different at Anglais d’Ash.

Yes, everyone can tell that you used AI to “translate” your speech, email or answer.

And yes, it is a problem.

Because the famous English speakers on the World Stage aren’t great because they’re 100% correct, but because they have built Political English Personas which makes their audience respect them, look up to them and follow them.

Which is exactly what I help my students do, and I can help you do exactly that in the English Mandate, my 12-Week Political English Course that starts THIS WEEK!

With weekly live sessions, weekly workbooks, live and written feedback and more, the English Mandate is the key to taking your English to a whole new level.

Because Politics, International Relations & Diplomacy isn’t a normal world, so your English shouldn’t be either.
