While recording the new UX Writing Essentials video course, there was just one word I couldn’t pronounce: “Subsequently.”
Not sure why, but something just wasn’t right coming out right when I tried to say it. So I used Google Translate to listen to the way it’s pronounced.
Then, I saw the option to practice it:

When I clicked, I could actually practice the word and was eventually able to pronounce it right.
Way to go Google!

This one goes back to the time we interviewed a UX writer when it was still super rare to find UX writing content.
Thanks to Chris from Booking and posts like this, we were able to publish content that helped us to build and establish the
international UX Writing community that keeps on growing.

Personal note: These are difficult and stressful times for many, and the future seems suddenly uncertain. The one thing I know is that the future belongs to writers in tech. They can work remotely and are agile enough to adjust to the situation we’re in.
People like us (and other professions like developers and designers) can help
boost the economy and design creative solutions for the current global situation.
At a time when many people are losing their jobs and businesses, events are being canceled, and even my mom is on unpaid leave, it’s time for us to step up and land our next UX writing and copywriting projects.
Push and try even harder to get that gig!
My team and I are working on projects for our clients and on creating more educational material so that more writers can bring value at a
time when everything seems so upside down.
Keep up the great work everyone, and don’t stop learning!
