Description

If you’re studying English as an adult, you’ll probably recognise this feeling: sitting in class, forgetting simple words, and wondering if you’re too old to improve. 

In this episode, I share what happened when I went back to school to learn Arabic from scratch, from the beginning, in my 30s - the embarrassment, the motivation, and the small victories that will add up to real progress.

You’ll also hear useful and practical tips to help you stay motivated, study effectively, and keep improving your English in this B1/B2 level English listening practice podcast.
