Why bother? 

I don’t often ask myself that question, but every once in a while, it crops up. Why bother making an English language learning podcast if I don’t get a thousand downloads?

In today’s English listening episode, number 49 🙌, I remind you of the value of listening to podcasts for English language learning, in addition to their psychological and social benefits. For example:

  • learning new pronunciation, expressions and advanced English vocabulary
  • getting exposure to different English accents and "messy" English
  • improving active listening skills
  • sharing personal stories that build connection
  • fostering our imagination
  • bolstering our cognitive abilities

While Hear You Go will never be the most famous podcast in the world (and that’s OK!), it's my way of offering you authenticity, interesting topics, and this year, it was a vehicle to highlight and elevate the voices and work of women in the English language teaching community. 

As season two starts to wrap up, I encourage you to reflect on the topics shared and my wonderful guests who offered tips and guidance, and moving stories about their love of learning English. 

 

💫 Listen right to the end to learn more about my upcoming courses. 

I’ll be offering two starting in September: WILDE and TIDES are courses that focus on listening skills, language development, and pronunciation.
