Episode 3 is all about how to practice speaking when you're alone. Here I break everything down into 2 main parts. The first is how you're going to do your practice and the second is exactly what you'll be saying. So many people I work with can see the value of practicing speaking English when they're alone, but unlike reading, listening, and writing, the best way to do this doesn't always seem so clear. We'll also talk a little bit about habit building, although I have a full episode on that coming up! So subscribe, grab a coffee, and let's talk about speaking practice!
