Speaking English can be so much more than doing a classroom exercise.

Imagine how it feels when people want to find out more about you, when they listen to you and encourage you.

That's the power of curiosity and connection. These two things bring people together and create ways for easier and more satisfying conversations.

In this podcast episode, I talk about a recent lesson in the English Fluency Club where curiosity and connection led to some amazing conversations in English. I also share a few ways for you to get the same results.
