Episode #7 - Talking about town

What if the life you built—the job, the achievements, the “perfect” image—was just a more polished version of the cage you were raised in?

In this episode, I open up about what it feels like to live by someone else’s script, and what it really takes to break free. We’ll talk about identity, invisible expectations, and the terrifying freedom that comes with asking, “What do I actually want?”

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt successful on the outside but lost on the inside.

The №1 killer of any language fluency and personal success in a job interview or IELTS speaking.

If you want to succeed in your IELTS speaking performance - having more ideas to bring to the table or if you are a job interview performer - sound more natural and stay on the point without being stuck - you want to listen to this potentially life changing podcast.

What might it be, you are wondering? What is the topic?

It's quite simple, and we are all told this by language tutors: confidence... We are told "we all need to become confident."  Is this right? Self-confidence is game changer!

Since I am a second language learner, which means I am going through the same steps as my students do, and I can understand them quite well but if I was told to become confident when learning a language - it would seem quite vague, would it be the same for you? 

Teachers tell us to be confident, but how can we be?! How do I be confident? 

What is confidence? What is it made of?

These questions are never answered because the 'confidence field' is too vague and broad, and sadly, it's overlooked as the main, foundational ingredient for someone's change!

Listen to the podcast; within it, you'll find a massive bonus that will amplify your learning and can inspire you to sel-find ideas you've never dreamed of. Give it a shot; you might like it.

BOB: We’d like two tickets for the 3:30
show, please.
TICKET SALES: Here you go. Enjoy the movie!
[Inside the theater]
BOB: Would you mind moving over one,
so my friend and I can sit together?
WOMAN: No, not at all.
BOB: Thanks a lot!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• The 3:30 show Movies are shown at different times throughout the day. This refers to 
the movie that starts at 3:30. Notice the emphasis on 3:30.
• Enjoy the movie! Notice how the intonation rises on movie. This is said in a friendly 
way, and is followed by an exclamation point.
• Would you mind is a polite way to ask “Can you do something for me?” Notice the 
verb ends in “-ing.” Compare this structure to “Would you mind if I” plus a verb that 
ends in “-ed” (Would you mind if I opened the window?).
• Moving over one Here “one” is short for “one seat.”
• No, not at all is a way of saying “No, I don’t mind” or “I will be glad to.” Notice the 
answer to “Would you mind” is in the negative form.
