The Reason Why
Douglas Oliveira (English4Reason) kindly joined me on the podcast for a casual conversation about language learning, but more specifically we spoke about passion and finding your purpose in life, or your ‘Why’. It was an inspiring and motivational chat and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.
Douglas also has his own podcast, The Reason Why, where he interviewed me about my ‘Why’. Definitely check that out too.

Whenever you remove the aspect of language learning, grammar and difficulties in learning and communicating in a language, you reduce the level of stress.
Hours, dedicated hours that you devote to something you want to be good at, this is the secret.
