  • In this episode, let's find out if you are too old to learn English?
  • Is it too late to learn a language? Is it possible to learn English as an adult? I'm going to answer these questions.

Some time ago, a 95-year-old student from Greece emailed me. He wanted to tell me how my method helped him learn English.

He is learning English and listens to this podcast. The truth is that I admire people who don't make excuses. And that's what inspired me to do this episode.
