Episode 128 How Can We Make Learning English More Effective Than Just Striving For Fluency?

Listen Later

In today's episode I'm talking about fluency.

So many students, when I ask what their their goal is for learning English, they tell me: 'I want to be fluent in English'.

In this episode I want to look at:

  • How can we make a clearer and more effective goal that will help you feel like you're really moving forward?
  • How can we make a goal that is actionable and measurable, so you know exactly how to improve and can see yourself getting better?
  • How can we make goals that allow for incremental steps and clear development over time.
  • How can we make sure that incremental steps lead to overall fluency?
