Description

In 1995, a middle-aged man named McArthur Wheeler decided to rob a bank. He wasn't wearing a mask as he smiled at the security cameras because he thought they would not be able to see him since he had covered his face in lemon juice. Yes, regular lemon juice. 


McArthur had read somewhere that lemon juice can act as invisible ink. He then came to the logical conclusion that he would appear invisible to the security cameras as well.


This led, eventually a psychological study called the Dunning-Kruger study. They concluded that the less you know about something, the higher your confidence is. 


After we learn a little bit, our confidence drops because we begin to see how little we know. I see this all the time as a teacher. Many of my students have studied English for years, and they can speak well. However, their confidence is low. They can speak and understand much more than they think they can. Does this sound like you? 


The trick is to find that sweet spot. Jesse will share a few ways to overcome this confidence barrier and teach you a few useful English expressions to help your English ability grow.
