OLLY RICHARDS
About this episode

Tomás asks: "I get tired after speaking English for 30 minutes. How can I raise my stamina?"

In this episode:

  • My experience breaking through the "tiredness" barrier in Spanish
  • You need to spend extended time speaking a language in order for it to become easier
  • When you're having fun, you won't get tired so easily
  • In your lessons, try to push yourself from the start by defining challenging topics to discuss

Today's Featured Quote:

"Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well." - Theodore Roosevelt"
