Transcript:
The truth is, the best way to improve your English with this podcast… is actually really simple.
Repetition.
That’s it.
I recommend listening to the same episode at least three times—ideally on different days.
Not all in one sitting. Maybe once today, again tomorrow, and one more time later in the week. That’s how your brain really starts to absorb the language.
And you know what?
You don’t need to understand everything the first time. Seriously—don’t stress about it. Just relax, listen, and trust that your brain is working even if it doesn’t feel like it right away.
Because it is.
Every time you come back to the same episode, you’ll notice something new. A word. A pattern. A phrase.
Your brain starts to connect the dots—all on its own. That’s how language learning really works.
Also—if it helps—you can follow along with the transcript on my website.
Some students like to read while they listen. Others prefer to read afterward. It’s totally up to you.
You might find it helps connect the sounds and the spelling—or just gives you more confidence.
And one last thing before we jump in:
Even if it feels like you’re learning slowly… you’re not.
Small steps really do add up.
And you don’t need hours and hours every day.
You can start small—15 minutes a day…
Even 5 minutes a day is enough to get started.
Listening, repeating, answering out loud—just for a few minutes—makes a big difference over time.
And that’s actually what we’re talking about today:
How small habits can lead to big results.
Most people think they need to make huge changes—study for hours, follow a perfect routine…
But the truth is, it’s those little things you do every day that matter most.
Just like brushing your teeth.
You don’t brush your teeth once a month for two hours, right?
You do it every day—for a few minutes. And it works.
Learning English is the same.
You don’t have to do everything.
Just a little every day.
So, let’s hear a story about someone who did just that—and how it changed everything.
Now, let’s practice with a mini-story.
Mini-Story 📖 (Practice your speaking)
I’ll tell you a short story, then I’ll ask you questions.
After each question, you’ll answer out loud. Then I’ll confirm the correct answer. This helps you think in English and improve your speaking.
