    437. How to Reach a Breakthrough in English Without Learning Anything New [Revisiting favorite episodes]

    Weā€™re revisiting some of our most popular and favorite episodes on the podcast.

    As an English learner, you must have wondered ā€“ what are the things that are preventing me from reaching a breakthrough in English?

    You may think itā€™s just more vocabulary or phrasal verbs, and maybe all those fancy tenses that people useā€¦ When in fact, itā€™s something a lot more basic and primal. Itā€™s not what ELSE you need to learn, but instead ā€“ itā€™s how YOU think about yourself when speaking English.

    Yes, how we think about our English has a big part in how confident we feel when speaking English. Are we thinking kind and empowering thoughts? Or are we being harsh and critical? In this episode, Iā€™ll dive deep into explaining how you can reach a breakthrough simply by changing the way you think about your English.
