Still Nervous to Travel? Take a Virtual Trip Around the World With Lingoda
MIAMI - August 17, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Lingoda, a leading online language school, is taking their language students on a virtual trip around the world. While three-quarters of Americans (75%) now say they feel comfortable traveling, domestic travel still remains a top choice for Americans as 59% of U.S. survey respondents are planning domestic-only trips for 2022. With COVID also not yet out of the picture, 39% of those not traveling say that the pandemic still factored into their decision to stay home.
Fortunately, Lingoda, a leading online language school, offers a solution that can scratch any globetrotter's travel itch, even if one is not yet ready to hop on a flight. When taking online language classes with native-level teachers and other group class participants who are based all around the globe, Lingoda's mission to build bridges around the world through language learning comes into full effect.
"Our teachers are based all around the world, which makes it possible for us to offer live language courses in all of our four languages 24/7," says Philippa Wentzel, Curriculum Team Lead at Lingoda. "One class with Lingoda can take you around the world. You might be a student in California taking a language class, your class teacher might be in Ecuador and your fellow students could be in Tokyo, London and Berlin."
The American Express 2022 Global Travel Trends Report also found that 81% of respondents stated they want to travel to destinations where they can immerse themselves in the local culture. And what better way to immerse oneself in a new culture than to learn a new language with people out of your comfort zone?
Additionally, Lingoda's online language courses are centered around human interaction and maximum conversation time, which enables students to learn real-life language and cultural context. And to expose language students to a range of accents and speaking styles, Lingoda rotates teachers and students from more than 120 countries to build "language fluidity".
And for next year's travel season, language students will have all the skills available to immerse themselves in a new culture abroad.

Discovery Senior Living’s FlexChoiceSM Program Wins 2022 Argentum Best of the Best Award
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - August 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Discovery Senior Living ("Discovery") has received a 2022 Argentum Best of the Best Award for its FlexChoiceSM program, the company announced. Held annually by seniors housing industry association Argentum, the Best of the Best Awards recognize innovative new programs and services that are working to improve the future of senior living.
Discovery's FlexChoiceSM program debuted in October 2021 and was launched at select communities. The program's provisions enable resident seniors to eliminate "bundled" or pre-packaged meal and service plans, instead choosing from dozens of available dining and lifestyle service options and paying only for those they opt to enjoy each month.
Lifestyle customization programs like FlexChoiceSM are a focal point of Discovery's resident-focused operating model—called Experiential LivingSM—which aims to empower more customized lifestyle experiences that will better satisfy the next generation of active seniors.
"Lifestyle personalization is the foundation upon which the future of our industry is now being built," said Gottfried Ernst, Vice President of Operations for Discovery Senior Living. "But beyond just optimizing the resident experience, FlexChoiceSM and the latest technologies can help reveal resident preference and usage patterns, promote more operational efficiency, refine purchasing and reduce the number of wasted goods and services. That makes this a true, two-way innovation with the power to change senior living for the better."
James Balda, Argentum President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Congratulations to our 2022 Best of the Best Award Winners. Argentum members work daily to provide the level-best care and services for residents and these six communities are doing that and more with these ground-breaking new ideas on taking their caregiving efforts to the next level."
FlexChoiceSM is currently being rolled out at additional Discovery communities throughout 2022. Discovery Senior Living currently owns and operates a portfolio of 111 communities in 19 states.

‘NOT A TAME LION’ Wins Grand Prize Alternative Spirit Award (Documentary) at the 40th...
LOS ANGELES - August 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Treading Yesterday LLC announces that 'NOT A TAME LION' has won the Grand Prize Alternative Spirit Award (Documentary) during the 40th Rhode Island International Film Festival, in addition to winning Best Documentary Feature at the 27th Indie Gathering International Film Festival during the film's premiere weekend.
NOT A TAME LION, the Documentary Feature, recounts the life and works of John Boswell, the Yale Professor who read and translated 14 ancient and modern languages, became a Yale Professor by age 30 and was granted full access to the highly classified and restricted Vatican archives from which he researched four award-winning books, making him a world-renowned expert in Medieval History and Linguistics. John Boswell was also openly gay without apology in an era that was neither tolerant nor accepting. NOT A TAME LION offers first-hand accounts of Boswell's closest friends, students, colleagues and family members as they recount his life, his works and his final days during which he feverishly worked to complete SAME-SEX UNIONS IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE, a book that changed the trajectory of the Marriage Equality debate, all while privately battling the debilitating effects of AIDS, which led to his death on Dec. 24, 1994, at the age of 47.
The significance of winning the top award in two International Film Festivals during the films debut weekend is not lost on the filmmakers, who express thanks to the Family and Friends of John Boswell who participated in the film's creation. According to Craig Bettendorf, the director, it's the authenticity of NOT A TAME LION that resonates with both festival juries and the viewing public as they experience the story of a person who influenced society to such a great extent but who few remember in 2022.
Treading Yesterday LLC focuses on the creation of LGBTQ+ stories, including its original series, TREADING YESTERDAY, set to debut on the Dekkoo streaming service on Sept. 27, 2022.
NOT A TAME LION has just begun its participation in the Film Festival circuit with several more screenings planned during the last half of 2022, including Cinema Diverse, the LGBTQ+ Palm Springs Film Festival in September and the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival in November.
NOT A TAME LION is written and directed by Craig Bettendorf, produced by Kai Morgan and represented by Alex Nohe of Blood Sweat Honey.
