In today's episode we'll be talking about one of the things that we find the hardest to do and that is staying motivated to continue towards our goals.  Actually, we'll be talking about the things that prevent you from being motivated, prevent you from being thrilled to attend your next class or prevent your from completing the challenge that will land you your next job. Learning a language is undoubtedly a huge project, and it's a never-ending process, so keeping your motivation levels high might be a daunting task. We'll tell you what you need to do to avoid falling in those pitfalls.  You'll need to keep distractive elements to the lowest, otherwise your time will be wasted on not very productive things.  And don't forget to reward yourself. That's what will surely keep you going.

How to stay motivated while learning English

Today we want to answer one of the questions we get asked the most by our students: “How can I remember more vocabulary?” The answer isn’t very simple, but in today’s podcast we’ve broken it down in just 5 steps that you can follow and learn more vocabulary.

The best way to learn vocabulary

It’s almost the end of the year and we thought it would be the best time to talk about something that is really important to 73% of the people. And that is. Learning English, and why it should be your priority number 1. It might be to become a better professional, to travel abroad and feel confident, to meet new people to know new cultures. Whatever the reason, it has to be a priority. In this episode we'll tell you how you can learn English by just following a three-step process. Happy New Year

Everyone needs to put English learning at the top of their resolutions list. AGAIN

It is often included in all the new years' resolution of a good deal of people here in Spain, but yet, people find it extremely difficult to actually do it. One of the reasons is simply because they haven't been able to develop a habit of it. You know what we're talking about right? It's learning English. How de we make English so natural to us that it's almost automatic? How do we make it a habit.? In today's episode we will take a look at how you can learn English quickly, if you ironically have the patience to do it. It's actually a very important factor to learn English, in fact to learn anything.  Being patient helps, but being consistent and developing a few other tiny processes that hardly take any effort and time are the key to developing habits. It's like going to the gym, at first you don't even remember that you have a membership at the gym, but then you go a couple of times and then boom. You're lifting weights like a pro.  Learning English follows a very similar path.  So to learn English quickly you need to have patience and couple more things we discuss in our podcast today.

How to make English a habit

In today's episode we'll talk about one of the questions many of my students ask me and that is "Teacher, do you think in English or in Spanish?". Today we'll take a look at the misconceptions people have when it comes to thinking about bilinguism. These misconceptions are usually created by people's own 'excuses' to not learn and master a language. But don't worry, we'll talk about it in our podcast. We'll also talk about the advantages bilinguals have and how it benefits them daily. And the last thing we'd like to talk mention are the secrets to becoming bilingual. You may not know it yet, but one of the secrets is...well, it's better if you listen to this podcast, which we created with a lot of love and care just for you.

I couldn't help making a podcast on Halloween this time because every year I keep seeing more and more people embracing a tradition that is more than 800 years old and I love the fact that here in Spain it's become a kids favourite.

The reasons why I love Halloween

B1-B1+ In Spanish there's a saying that goes more or less like this: "Those who have a friend, have a treasure", which could be translated to another expression in English that says "A friend in need, is a friend indeed."  Throughout our lives we end up with friends who simply make us better people. I have been able to identify 7 types of friends we all need. I hope you have them all in your group of friends. Listen to our podcast and see how many of them you have and which type of friend you are.
