Thinking in English
Thinking in English is a podcast designed for intermediate and advanced English learners. I believe that thinking is an incredibly important step on the road fluency, and this podcast is going to help you achieve this by discussing topics ranging from politics and economics, to philosophy and science. Rather than "learning English", Thinking in English focuses on "learning in English." Learn something new, listen to something interesting, and improve your English at the same time! Conversation Clubs, bonus episodes, and more on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thinkinginenglish My website - https://thinkinginenglish.blog/ Thinking in English is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.

Have you ever heard the word immersion?
In language learning, immersion means surrounding yourself with English in your daily life. Instead of only studying from textbooks, you try to listen, read, speak, and think in English as much as possible. It’s a popular and powerful method to improve quickly and naturally.
I first talked about language immersion on this podcast a few years ago. But since then, a lot has changed. Today, i...
