Listen "Episode 128 How Can We Make Learning English More Effective Than Just Striving For Fluency?"
Episode Synopsis
In today's episode I'm talking about fluency.
So many students, when I ask what their their goal is for learning English, they tell me: 'I want to be fluent in English'.
In this episode I want to look at:
What does 'fluent' actually mean?
How can we make a clearer and more effective goal that will help you feel like you're really moving forward?
How can we make a goal that is actionable and measurable, so you know exactly how to improve and can see yourself getting better?
How can we make goals that allow for incremental steps and clear development over time.
How can we make sure that incremental steps lead to overall fluency?
