English with Jack 

In this episode, (B2-C2), we unpack the hidden dangers of perfectionism in language learning. While striving for accuracy can be helpful, an obsession with getting everything "just right" often leads to anxiety, procrastination, and slow progress.

Tune in to learn why letting go of perfection is key to truly mastering a new language!
