In this solo episode, Olly talks about why haircuts are a fantastic language learning tool.

• My recent haircut in Hong Kong
• How haircuts help you level-up in your language learning:
  • Chitchat is mandatory
  • You'll never get spoken to as much anywhere else, or asked as many questions
  • There's no escape
  • You have to actively engage in the conversation and reply to questions
  • You're sitting there for extensive periods of time
  • You have to push through pain barriers and tiredness
  • You get stronger at socialising, which can have big knock-on effects on confidence etc
• The broader lesson is to put yourself in situations where the language is not the focus of the activity, so you're not being judged
• What other activities can you do that lead you to use the language in a more social way?

This episode is a broadcast of interview with me from The Fluent Show, a (newly rebranded) podcast run by my friends Kerstin and Lindsay.

In this conversation, we present a project Kerstin and I have been working on together for a while: German Uncovered. German Uncovered is a course for beginners who want to become fluent in German, and we are slowly getting ready to release it to the world. Exciting times! The special thing about German Uncovered is that it is entirely story-based, meaning you will not just learn the language step by step, but you'll also have read a whole book by the end. Listen in to find out how this works! If you're interested in what drives course creators to come up with innovative ideas, and how a language course comes into being, this show will give you great behind the scenes insights.
