6. How to Learn a Second Language in Your Late 20s – Brian and Mike

Have you ever tried to learn a second language?

Hello friends, welcome back to The Improve Podcast!

In this episode we are joined by Brian and Mike where we discuss Brian’s motivation for learning Spanish, the benefits of learning a second language, and some of the methods people use to learn foreign languages!

This might be my favorite episode I’ve released so far. It was a blast to record!

Like I said in the outro, I was a little over ambitious with my goals this week, and progress on my screenplay is not going as planned! I need to figure out how to manage my time better so I can accomplish all of my goals.

Next week you get to hear about a short film I wrote for a student film that will be releasing next year! Whoop, whoop!

Okay! That’s about it from me.

What are your goals for this week? What are your goals for this year? What are you working toward?!

Tell me! :)
