«Talking to yourself in English»: 3 reasons people give up on this exercise and ways to make it work
from Native-like fluency in English
They say you need to speak more if you want to speak better English...If you don't have a speaking partner, the general advice is - "talk to yourself".Many people embrace this idea with enthusiasm, but they quickly give up on the exercise... In this episode, I'm sharing the most common reasons people quit practicing (no feedback, no fresh ideas, no sense of progress...)as well as many ways to make this exercise work.I'm analyzing feedback from people I've been teaching over the last 15 years. People usually quit if they haven't seen immediate astonishing results. Nothing is immediate when we speak about mastering a skill.Hopefully, the examples in this podcast will help language learners enjoy the exercises and improve the quality of their spoken and written communication in English.The podcast is recommended for intermediate, upper-intermediate, advanced + levels.Music credit - Gavin Luke - Paradigm ShiftInstagram - www.instagram.com/nataliatokarr/My website - courses.nataliatokar.me/ Hosted on Acast.
