Episode notes

When we say drilling, we mean repeating in a sort of almost like a mechanical way. So not just sitting there watching Netflix going, I'm going to understand this show. And then I will learn English. Instead, you've got to take the things that you've heard and actually repeat them and try to use them. You can do it with Netflix. Just like listen to a sentence, pause, make sure you've understood it. And just say it yourself as well.

Santiago has a top job in the English teaching industry. He is the managing director of English teaching at Oxford University Press. But English is not his first language. He learned it as an adult when he moved to London in his twenties. This conversation explores how he progressed in his English learning and in his career, while dealing with daily challenges and failures in English.

The conclusions are that motivation and positivity are vital, you have to keep going through the difficult times, and you can achieve great things in your career in English even if you're not perfect. This episode should be a boost for the confidence of all English learners! Keep an open mind, keep your eyes on the prize, keep going and your English WILL improve!
