Episode notes

IELTS or TOWEX scores are objective ways of measuring language level. But when we are the ones who are responsible for our language learning, and so we do have to have a personal subjective way of measuring our level. It's not just one day regardless, it's no one day you get there. Your own kind of sense of learning English is very internal. You only feel 100% yourself when you are in your native language.

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!
