Many students tell me that they are living in fear and anxiety every day due to the recent global health emergency. Indeed, it could be hard, and more important than EVER, to attend to our mental health and preserve our oh-so-precious peace of mind. In this episode, I’ll share with you the tips I swear by for staying sane in this day and age where sanity is almost a luxury and how to keep learning English despite my super hectic work schedule. The first piece of advice that I stick to is that I try my best to incorporate learning into my daily routine. This way, I make sure that I learn just a LITTLE BIT more every day and keep making SOME progress. (As I’ve always said to my students, learning English is like going on a diet. Crash diets NEVER work. The only sustainable solution is keeping fit, which is a year-round habit rather than a one-off action)I will elaborate more on this in this episode.The second piece of advice that I stick to is that I try my best to stay emotionally stable, calm and composed because, otherwise, I can’t learn! I do so my practising meditation and scheduling breaks in between blocks of time when I read the news. I block out time to make sure that while I’m working, I don’t get interrupted by unnerving news notifications from mobile apps or news outlets. I make sure that I do NOT read too much news because doing so can rob me of my peace of mind.Again, I will tell you more about this in the episode.See you inside!

I’ve always believed that family education plays a crucial role in a child’s process of growing up. Growing up as a kid and a teenager who has always loved learning languages and especially English, I, of course, it’s no exception to this rule.There are many factors at play which have nurtured me into the language lover that I am today. For example, my dad was an English teacher (now retired!) I loved sharing with me Stories about a teaching career and language learning; During childhood and adolescence, playing language-themed games was one of our most fun past times in my family. Language learning has always felt more like a fun family activity than exam preparation sessions to me.All this, I believe, goes to show that the more fun you have in the learning process, the more effectively you can learn. I don’t believe that either pain or rote memorisation can help you learn a language properly, in other words. You have to find ways to enjoy the process of learning to become a successful learner.Listen to this episode to get to hear my personal story - how my family education has shaped me into the language (especially English) lover that I am today.

When it comes to accents, I would say British accent definitely ranks top among all the English accent that Hong Kongers want to acquire. I've talked about some of the Edutubers who I listen to on a regular basis in my previous videos.

So please do have a listen of my recommendations!• Anna - English like a Native• Joel and Lia

It can sometimes be frustrating when you want to improve your English listening and you do so by listening to TV programmes. This is because TV programme hosts and celebrities can speak all too quickly. As a result, learners can face immense difficulties catching what they are saying. However, this problem can be solved by choosing the right materials to listen to. This is why I always recommend that my students listen to the speech of experienced English teachers. This is because English teachers target English learners rather than native English speakers and tailor their speech to the needs of their students. Many students ask me which edutubers/ online English teachers they should listen to if they want to acquire the American accent. In this episode, I will delve into the American English online teachers who listen to on a regular basis. All of them speak quite clearly and slowly and by listening to them every day, you’re sure to improve your English listening and speaking.

My students often ask me, “Whose videos should I watch if I’d like to pick up a particular accent?” There’s a handful of edutubers who I love watching on YouTube because I don’t watch videos just for my own learning; I also do so to learn from how other teachers teach! In this episode, I will tell you which Australian YouTube English teachers I enjoy watching and listening to the most! So, ENJOY following my recommendations and picking up some nice Aussie accent! 😉
