Learning Math in English Online: How Numbers Build Real Language Thinking

Author’s Column | Tymur Levitin on Language, Meaning and Respect

Many people believe that learning a foreign language means memorizing words, rules, and grammar tables. Mathematics proves the opposite. When you study math through English, the language stops being a subject and becomes a working tool. You do not translate formulas. You think, reason, explain, and solve problems directly in the language. This is where […]

How Money Learns to Speak: What Currency Names Reveal About Language, Value, and Thinking

Author’s Column | Tymur Levitin on Language, Meaning and Respect

Before we talk about money as economics, we should admit something uncomfortable:money is first a word, and only then a number. Every culture names its currency, its smallest unit, its “nothing,” its “almost free.”And those names are never neutral. They encode how a society understands value, loss, effort, progress, and scale. This article is not […]

From House to Home: The Language of Belonging

Arabic

Speak Free or Speak Freely?

Author’s Column | Tymur Levitin on Language, Meaning and Respect

Why One Small Ending Changes the Whole Meaning At first glance, speak free and speak freely seem almost identical.Most learners translate both as “говорить свободно” and move on. And that is exactly where the real problem begins. Because English does not choose forms randomly.And the difference here is not grammatical — it is conceptual. This […]

Teacher Profile or Teacher’s Profile?

Author’s Column | Tymur Levitin on Language, Meaning and Respect

Why English Is Not About Rules but About Perspective People often ask whether teacher profile is “correct English” or whether it should always be teacher’s profile.This question looks grammatical on the surface.In reality, it is not about correctness at all.
