Welcome to the first episode of 'From Lost To The River'. Soy Richard. I’ve been learning Spanish for 14 years so I know how difficult and challenging it is to communicate in a language that isn't your own. 

I’ve been exactly where you are—feeling frustrated and worried about making mistakes and staying quiet as a result. However, once I let go of perfectionism and stopped being ashamed of my accent, I was able to finally be myself in Spanish.

In this episode, we’ll talk about how you can shift your mindset, embrace imperfection, and stop letting fear hold you back in your English communication.

Key Insights
  • How to shift your focus from perfection to communication when speaking English.
  • Common fears and insecurities Spanish speakers face while learning English—and how to overcome them.
  • Why comparing yourself to native speakers isn´t helpful.
  • The importance of letting go of the shame associated with making mistakes.
  • The value of patience and consistency in improving your English skills.
    • '¿Me recomiendas algún podcast en inglés?'
    This is the most common question I get asked. It´s a great question because regular exposure to different accents and real-life situations is crucial for enriching your English vocabulary and boosting confidence. There are lots of podcasts out there and it’s easy to get overwhelmed with choice. So I have made an interactive 'Podcast Recommendation Guide' with a list of the BEST podcasts in 2024.They are categorised by level (A2-C2) to help you make a start.
