I used to rely on teachers and textbooks to guide my language learning, but I realized that trusting my own language gut is the key to real progress. In this episode, I share why trusting your instincts in language learning matters at every stage - from guessing words to choosing resources - and how it helps reduce overwhelm and build confidence. I also explain how trusting your language gut keeps you calm when you hit those tricky moments and how you can cultivate this skill to learn more effectively.
