Mid sentence, and you forget how to say...
|
Hi Reader, Freezing in mid sentence because you forget how to say what you want to say in English is one of THE WORST feelings, isn't it? I know exactly what that feels like. It happens to me. In English. (Promise!) It's especially happens to me with my Spanish - that's my second language. It SUCKS! But here's the thing: it. happens. to. everyone. Did you read that? Forgetting how or what to say next happens in your first and second language - the embarrassing experience is not reserved JUST for English learners, and I hope that's a comfort for you. Now, of course, it tends to happen way more when you're trying to use your second language, right? But I think the first thing to know in order to begin dealing with this is that it happens to everyone. (Not just you.) I made a podcast this week that's all about helping you make it through that awful moment when you forget every single word in English in the worst possible moment. I hope it helps! 👉 What to do when your English disappears in mid conversation. Have you ever had this happen to you? Hit reply and tell me about it! I'd love to hear from you. Have a great week, Aaron |

Hi Reader, In case you missed it: a new podcast episode dropped this week: Coffee, Routines, and CELPIP: Transforming daily life into study time. An insider take on this episode: I was so excited making this episode because I'm trying something new: recording without following a script, and breaking some of my self-imposed rules at the same time. Rules? Yep. I broke two of them. One on purpose, which was including sounds from around me. (You'll hear it if you listen. I loved how it turned...
