Hello, my friends, and welcome back to the English with Neil Learn English podcast.
How's everyone doing today?
I wanted to talk about something today that kind of bothers me about online advertising.
One thing that bothers me is people are always trying to sell some kind of secret.
For example, by my program I'll teach you the secret of speaking English like a native.
Or buy my program because I have the secret to speaking English fluently.
Everyone is trying to sell this secret.
And if you're listening to this, please listen carefully.
There is no secret.
There is no secret to speaking English fluently.
There is no secret to speaking English like a native.
There is no secret for Learning and memorizing more vocabulary.
There is no secret.
I've been teaching for over a decade.
I've helped hundreds of people.
I've taught hundreds of students.
A lot of them go on to get English speaking jobs.
A lot of them go on to study abroad.
And the one characteristic that I see in all of my students, who are all successful, is that they just do the work.
They just do the work.
They're disciplined, they're committed and they're dedicated to reaching their goals.
So if I can give you the real secret, the secret is just do the work.
The secret is don't be lazy.
The secret is take yourself seriously and don't make excuses.
That's the secret.
And I'm making this because I'm very passionate about teaching.
I feel like teaching is my life's work.
But I get so upset when I see these businesses and these online influencers say buy my program.
I'll teach you the secret.
They're just trying to make money.
And as a teacher I don't like to see people getting tricked.
So I just want to remind you as a language learning student, don't fall for the tricks.
Don't fall for the marketing, the advertising.
The real secret is just doing the work.
The real secret is being disciplined.
The real secret is making a promise to yourself that you're going to keep going and never stop until you reach your goals.
That's the secret.
Alright everyone, that's it for today's episode.
Thank you for tuning in to the English with Neil podcast.
I look forward to speaking with you in the next one.
Take care everyone and talk to you soon.
Peace.
