In November 2010, goFLUENT's CEO, Christophe Ferrandou, was interviewed by Edukwest's Kirsten Winkler, Founder of the E-Teachers Academy. During the interview, Christophe discussed goFLUENT's evolution, starting with his reason for founding the company. While working in the finance industry in Manhattan, he realized that he needed to improve his level of English in order to reach his full professional potential, but he was unable to find an English training provider that offered flexible, personalized lessons. He saw these two things as the most important aspects of effective English learning, thus he created his own method and founded goFLUENT in 2000. He described goFLUENT's growth from its creation to what it is today, a decade later: a market leader in distance English training, specializing in phone lessons and e-Learning in the B2B (corporate) sector with more than 450 professional trainers.

Simple recipe I cook from time to time when I don't have much time. It is really easy to cook and tastes just great, a classic Italian / Mediterranean Style dish, perfect for a summer evening. You can serve it as main dish but also as part of a bigger menu. Goes great with rice, couscous or a salad. The secret of this dish are the fresh ingredients.

This one came spontaneously while I was looking for some inspiration on YouTube. I came across Titli Nihaan's awesome channel and one of the newest recipes uploaded was this delicious Greek dish. Lucky me: I had almost everything at home, the fresh spinach, some Feta etc. The only thing missing: the filo so I replaced it with a simple pizza dough I still had in the fridge. The result was delicious as well. Thank you Titli!

www.mybrittany.info Another recipe you can cook under 10 minutes. Even better, if you are a total beginner there is almost no cooking involved ;). Fresh pesto is simply delicious and makes a classic summer dish. This one here is not 100% authentic as I used hazelnuts instead of pine nuts.
