| 7. Perfectionism makes you sound LESS fluent | 03 Jul 2023 | 00:06:48 | |
In this episode, I talk about how perfectionism makes you sound LESS fluent in English, while—conversely—confidence makes you sound more fluent. I share a personal story from my language-learning journey to illustrate the point, and talk about how I've noticed this is true with my students.

| 2. Comprehensible Input & Shadowing | 09 Mar 2023 | 00:10:52 | |
In this episode I talk about comprehensible input and the BEST way to implement it in your language learning. I also talk about mimicking or shadowing, how you can use it to improve your accent and pronunciation, and the easiest way to do it. In both cases, I'm talking from my personal experience as someone who learned a second language as an adult (Spanish), and from the experience I've had with my ESL students.
