Are all mistakes in English equally important? What does that even mean to make a mistake? And who decides what IS a mistake ANYWAY??

In this episode, I discuss my holistic yet unconventional approach toward mistakes in English, and why I think the way we currently address mistakes is often the reason why people are struggling to see progress.

The idea for this episode came from receiving MANY comments on a recent video I created calling out other YouTube creators for their content. It made me realize that we all need a decent shift in how we think about mistakes, and to recognize the complexity of speaking and owning any language.
