About this episode

Are you looking for some inspiration this week?

Today I look at 4 of the world's most influential people and share some valuable life lessons we can all learn from. I explain how I think these can be applied to language learners too! So if you're struggling with motivation, this is the episode for you.

As always, there are lots of great vocabulary and phrases we look at along the way.
