English Unleashed
About this episode

Welcome to English Unleashed! 🎧 In this English podcast for beginners, Tom and Becky talk about one of the most important parts of language learning: motivation. You will learn how to find your personal why (your reason for learning English) and use it every day to stay motivated. 👉 This episode is perfect for A1–A2 learners and includes shadowing practice. That means you can listen, repeat after us, and improve your pronunciation, fluency, and listening skills step by step. 🔑 In this episode, you will learn: The meaning of “your why” in English learning. The difference between external motivation (outside pressure) and internal motivation (your dream). A simple 3-step daily practice: say your reason, imagine your future, take a small action. Why small steps every day are more powerful than big steps once in a while. How to see mistakes as friends, not problems. Easy reflection questions to keep your motivation strong.
