Why I Chose English Communication

from The Elephant Method Podcast · host Lisa Courtney

What if learning a new language could completely change your life? For me, it did — and not in the way I expected. I grew up in Oregon, studied in England, and spent a Christmas break traveling through Spain, Italy, and Israel. England felt familiar — comfortable, predictable, a lot like home. But then I got to Spain. And everything changed. Spain was loud, vibrant, and beautifully chaotic. People were close, warm, and full of life — nothing like England or America. And somewhere in an open-air market, I met someone who made me want to stay. But it wasn't just him. Spain pulled at something deep inside me. It was so different, so alive, so full of color — and it made me GROW in ways I never imagined. While I was building my career helping others find their voice in English, I was finding mine in Spanish. And let me tell you — I felt EVERY uncomfortable moment of being a non-native speaker. The hesitation, the searching for words, the fear of getting it wrong. And that's exactly why I do what I do. Because I've been there. And I know that on the other side of that discomfort is a whole new world waiting for you.The magic of English can help you change your life. With The Elephant Method, I help you stop the dreaded 'Freeze', and prevent performance failure in your second language. Reach out if you'd like to learn more at TheElephantMethod.com
