Hi, I'm Georgiana and I'm back with a new episode.
I'm here to help you speak English fluently.
If you want to help me share the podcast with your friends and family, that would mean a lot.
Thanks.
Before we start, get the transcript.
Visit speakenglishpodcast.com slash podcast.
Okay, let's start.
Today I will tell you how to train your brain to listen more in English.
And with a fun mini story, you will improve your English fluency.
Nowadays, we are very used to watching content on the Internet.
There's a wide variety of materials.
And when it comes to learning English, it's no exception.
So I understand that you can feel overwhelmed by so many possibilities.
That's why I'm here.
To give you clarity.
And to help you speak English in a very short time.
And with a very efficient method.
While most teachers switch from audio to video, I have done the opposite.
There are several reasons why I've stopped making videos regularly.
I've started making videos a decade ago.
Meanwhile, I was teaching English 101 to students from all over the world and of all ages.
That's how I came up with the best method to learn English.
I noticed that when my students were listening to simple audio repeatedly, they were learning faster and their listening and speech improved.
I realized that many students learn with their eyes and not with their ears.
Listening was a greater challenge than reading for many.
If you want to understand a language better, you need to train your brain to listen more.
Another aspect that has helped me understand what my students really need was the fact that I'm a polyglot.
I've started learning several languages when I was a kid by using different techniques.
For me, the most effective way to learn a language was to learn by listening.
With my podcast, you will improve your listening and comprehension, especially if you listen repeatedly.
Most students think that the more variety, the better.
So what they usually do is listen to an audio once or twice and then change to something else.
Well, variety is useful, but what you want is to consolidate what you listen to.
In addition, it's essential to listen to simple content often and repeatedly.
To get your brain used to listening more in English.
I recommend that you take advantage of every moment you have.
When you go to work, exercise, or when you're waiting in line, etc.
Always find time to listen to English content.
If you want to train your brain to listen, the most effective way to achieve this is through repetition.
For example, you can use one of my podcast episodes.
I recommend that you listen to every episode several times to consolidate the content.
I provide a transcript for each episode.
So after listening to an episode a few times, get the transcript and read at the same time.
Another excellent way to improve your English is by using my premium courses.
Because of time limitations, you can only try my method using the podcast.
However, I can hardly develop the lessons.
Instead, the premium courses are complete programs designed to improve your English fluency dramatically.
In fact, my premium courses contain hours and hours of questions and answers.
Imagine for a moment the same as a podcast episode, but multiplied by 100.

Let's continue with a mini-story.
A mini-story is very simple.
I ask simple questions on purpose so that you can simulate a conversation in English.
It's like talking with another person.
