Improve Your English: Why Listening Help...

Hilary Platt
About this episode

Today, we're tackling the two most common questions language learners ask us: 'How do I start speaking English?' and 'Is there a proven plan to reach fluency?' Spoiler: The answer is yes and it's simpler than you think.


"Repetition isn't failure, it's how your brain builds fluency." James Clear


In this episode, you'll discover:


- Why traditional language classes fail most learners (and what to do instead)

- How to go from understanding to speaking even if you're shy or 'stuck'

- Our step-by-step fluency roadmap, from beginner to advanced
