My Language Learning Mistakes (And What You Can Learn From Them)

✨ This week we celebrate one year of the Learn English Podcast, and I’m sharing the most important lessons from my own 20-year journey learning a second language. I open up about the mistakes I made, what finally helped me improve, and how these ideas can make your English learning faster and more effective. From classroom methods to apps like Duolingo and Rosetta Stone, to input-based tools like LingQ, this episode gives you a clear and honest look at what actually works. It’s a great episode for ESL and EFL learners who want real-life English, useful vocabulary in context, and motivation for the next step of their language journey.
