You’re not the problem. The system is.

In this first episode of Alone with English, Ruth and Jennie speak directly to the learners who feel ashamed, stuck, or like they’re always behind. Because here’s the truth: if English learning has left you feeling inadequate, it’s not a personal failure. It’s the result of a system that’s been selling you efficiency and leaving you exhausted.

This episode is a wake-up call and a warm welcome. We share the emotional truths behind why learners give up, and how to start finding freedom in your English again.

You’ll hear:

• Why “not good enough” is a story, not a fact

• What a Neurolanguage Coach really helps you do (hint: it’s not more homework)

• How movement, play, and curiosity unlock lasting language

• Why 3 words can tell a whole story

• What it looks like to learn from a place of confidence, not survival
