Ep. 25 – “Correct” Language isn’t Enough (Tone)

Rants, Ramblings, and Reflections from an ESL Teacher by Christopher Kowalchuk

Episode notes

In this episode, we’re talking about something that doesn’t show up on your grammar test but definitely shows up in real life: tone. Yep, that invisible thing that makes your message sound friendly… or accidentally rude… or suspiciously like it was written by a robot. I share a personal story (featuring heartbreak and AI), and explain why tone matters just as much as vocabulary—especially when emotions are involved. Whether you’re writing to a teacher, a friend, or someone you almost dated, this one’s for you.
