If learning English really worked, why does it disappear when your career is on the line? Many adult learners use English regularly and feel comfortable in low-pressure situations. They can read, listen, and prepare answers in advance. However, during important moments — such as job interviews, meetings, or conversations with senior colleagues — English may suddenly feel difficult to access. This experience often leads learners to believe they need more vocabulary, more grammar practice, or more courses. While language knowledge is important, high-stakes situations introduce additional factors. Pressure, responsibility, and fear of making mistakes can affect how people think and respond. As a result, familiar words may not come out as expected. This does not mean that learners lack ability or effort. It highlights the difference between knowing a language and using it confidently under pressure. Recognizing this gap can help learners better understand their experience and reflect on why progress sometimes feels inconsistent, even after many years of study. Written by Anatoly Glazkov

If learning English really worked, why does it disappear when your career is on the line? This short podcast explores a common experience among adult English learners who use the language at work. Many people can understand English well, prepare carefully, and perform confidently in low-pressure situations. However, during interviews, meetings, or important conversations, their English may suddenly feel unavailable. Instead of focusing on grammar, vocabulary, or learning speed, this episode looks at what happens when pressure appears and why language access can change in high-stakes moments. It invites listeners to reflect on the difference between knowing English and being able to use it when professional consequences are involved. The goal of this episode is not to offer quick solutions, but to help learners recognize a pattern that often goes unnoticed and to better understand why progress can feel inconsistent, even after years of study.

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. Written by Anatoly Glazkov

Many people feel nervous before speaking English. Not because they don’t know words — but because they think the first sentence must be perfect. They tell themselves: “If I start wrong, everything will go wrong.” So they wait. They think more. They try to organize everything in their head. And then speaking feels even harder. The truth is simple: Conversations don’t need a perfect start. They need movement. When you speak your first sentence, you are not being judged. You are just opening the door. Most confidence doesn’t come from preparing more. It comes from allowing yourself to begin — imperfectly. Next time you speak, don’t search for the best start. Just start. Often, the voice finds itself after the first sentence — not before it. Make a small decision now and write it down on a piece of paper: I decide to ... fill in yourself. See you tomorrow for one minute challenge.

Many professionals freeze before they even start speaking English. Not because they don’t know what to say — but because they believe the first sentence decides everything. In this one-minute episode, we look at the hidden pressure behind “starting wrong” and why your voice shrinks before the conversation even begins. A small awareness. A simple strategic shift. One minute that may change how you enter conversations. Let me know why was it important for you to hear it today? More training like this tomorrow!
