"Invest in yourself." This is something we often hear from motivational speakers but we probably also heard that from our teachers, parents and friends. Perhaps, it is because of the fact that YOU are your best investment, whether it is with knowledge or skills. In this podcast, I will be sharing three principles of personal development.

English with Hamed

✅ Turn a Boring Wedding ❤️ into English Learning Fun!

If learning English really worked, why do you still panic?

This short episode explores a question many adult learners quietly struggle with:
why English feels “there” in class, but disappears in interviews, meetings, or conversations with native speakers.

Based on patterns observed in years of working with adult learners in professional contexts, the episode looks at why vocabulary, grammar, apps, and repeated courses often don’t lead to confidence when pressure appears.

Instead of focusing on “learning more,” this episode invites listeners to reflect on what happens inside them in high-stakes moments — and why the problem may not be language knowledge at all.

The goal is not to offer quick fixes, but to help learners recognize a hidden gap that keeps English feeling endless, frustrating, and unreliable, even after years of study.

Written and recorded to encourage clarity, self-observation, and a new way of thinking about progress.

If English feels endless, it’s not your fault. It’s the system.
