#121 Responding to Your Excuses

Michael Lavers
About this episode

I reached out to my Instagram followers and asked the question: What are your obstacles to learning English?

In today's episode, I respond to the main excuses that I saw. 

Just to clarify, I'm also guilty of having all of these excuses too. Everyone's situation is different, but this is general advice on how you can overcome these issues. I hope it helps!
