Digging a Little Deeper into English

When I started focusing on teaching people English, I spent a lot of time researching what made some people appear to be better language learners than others.

You know what I mean right?

Some people seem to pick up languages much easier than others. Not me, I have to work HARD.

So, if I am going to help people to truly master using English, shouldn’t I know what tricks/tips are needed to make the journey easier?

I set out to find out. I asked the people I admired. The people I felt had truly embraced the language learning journey and had seen the career benefits from doing it.

I wanted to capture the knowledge so I could package it up and pass it on.

And then it occurred to me…. That this wasn’t the most efficient way of sharing knowledge.

The most efficient way is to let the people I was talking with share the information directly with you.

And this is where the idea for this podcast grew.

So, if you are learning English, if you need to use it for your career, why don’t you take some time to listen to how other people have succeeded in doing just that?

You may find some insights that help you in this journey. You may find some motivation to keep going. Or you may just enjoy listening to their story as they share their journeys with you.

Whatever you take away from the podcast, I hope it inspires you to keep going, to keep digging deeper into English.
