Episode notes

I've got some books which are published by Oxford University Press. Would you like to know what I've got in my hands here? Yes, please. So this is where you can like look up words and look up the words that are often used with that word. For example, if we have the word, I don't know, decade, 10 years, then it shows us the adjective. It also shows us verb collocations to spend a decade to span for decades,. By the way, I think for a learner is one of the most important things that you can learn in English.

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!
