068: Studying for the test or speaking practice?

Halvard asks: "I'm studying for the B1 exam in Russian. Does your advice to speak regularly still stand?"

In this episode:
  • My advice on regular speaking is for people who want to speak
  • If you have another short-term goal, it may be better to focus on that
  • There are valid goals, so it's best to focus and achieve one of them ASAP, rather than worrying if it's the right one or not
Resources mentioned in today's episode:
  • Time Control - How to double your productivity in language learning
