I highly, highly recommend this very welcome addition to the Substack world - it’s one of my dear former students, who learnt so much in my class despite my teaching. She managed to overcome every obstacle I put in her way (namely, lousy teaching and terrible advice) to become the person she is today. I couldn’t be more proud.

Here is her glowing endorsement:

Some years ago, I was a student of Daniel Puzzo, the author of [a Substack newsletter]…He suggested I start writing here, too. Several pieces of Daniel’s advice (mostly language tips and book recommendations) have yielded neutral to positive results, so I figured starting a Substack wouldn't make things worse either.

(Here she is displaying her RBF - it was new to me until about 5 minutes ago.)
