In this episode, I talk about a few ideas from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson and how they apply to English learners.
This is not really a book review. It’s about what happens when you care too much about every part of your English at the same time.
If you’re constantly worrying about grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, accent, mistakes, and what other people think, your brain gets overloaded. And when your brain gets overloaded, speaking becomes much harder.
In this episode of the BritSpeakPod, we will talk about: Why caring about everything can make your English worse How speaking anxiety creates a cycle that keeps you stuck Why the fear of freezing can actually cause you to freeze Why mistakes are not proof that your English is bad How to choose better problems when practising English Why confidence comes from action, not waiting until you feel ready
