The chapter highlights the importance of deep learning over surface-level study in language learning, focusing on the challenges of understanding native speakers and the differences between classroom language and authentic speech. It discusses the significance of listening, balancing language consumption and production, maintaining a positive mindset, celebrating small wins, and utilizing news sources for English language practice.
I’m interviewing Jennifer from JForrestEnglish on the show today. Jennifer shares how her own experience as a “failed language learner” inspired her to begin teaching English and helping others improve their listening skills, confidence and mindset.
I enjoyed this talk with Jennifer, and I hope you will too!
