“Being part of a group with other international professionals is incredibly enriching. It has helped me become more familiar with the different accents and ways of speaking, while also strengthening my intercultural communication skills, something that is essential in the diverse work environments here in Scotland. “

“I’ve noticed positive changes in both my confidence and the way I communicate. I feel more comfortable expressing my ideas at work and in everyday situations. It has also helped me understand different speaking styles, which is incredibly useful in both professional and social settings.”

Hi, I’m Lesley.

Founder of GoGabber.

When I moved to Spain, I quickly realised that the language I'd learned in the classroom didn't translate to real life.

Conversations moved faster. Local expressions and cultural references all added layers I wasn't prepared for.

I became quieter, less confident and felt I couldn’t express my personality.

Today, through GoGabber, I help international professionals in Scotland bridge the gap between fluent English and real-life communication, so they can participate more confidently at work and feel more at home here.
