Psychological Training for Language Learners (IELTS, Job Interviews, Confidence Building).

I started this recording with IELTS learners; however, it's something that ALL language learners CAN benefit from NOW.

It is something that isn't talked about by English teachers (very few teachers do), the psychological aspects of success behind IELTS speaking, job interview successes, and confident communication in English or other languages.

It is something about your head—how you think, feel, see, and hear; therefore, how you interpret reality—that is the key, the essential ingredient for a language learner's success and life overall.

Please allow me to guide you along the process of softening towards your goals (sometimes people are too strict and too intense about it).

My voice is gentle and deep, which will help you relax and feel at ease.

Enjoy the journey and have fun.

If you'll resonate with some of my ideas and you'll feel compelled to book my class, do so; no hesitation is needed; you are in safe hands with me.

Be well and feeeeel good now...

Hello guys! Don´t miss today podcast to sound more native.

De todo un poco

Irse de la lengua 😛.  Go off the tongue??? 😵

「おやすみなさい」は　ねるときの　あいさつの　ことばです。でも、「なさい」は　命令（めいれい）で　つかう　ことばです。子どもが　おとうさんや　おかあさんに　「ねなさい」と命令（めいれい）しているのでしょうか？　へんですよね…。どうして　ねるときに、「おやすみなさい」というようになったのか　調（しら）べてみました。
"Oyasuminasai" is a greeting word when we sleep. But "～nasai" is a word used in command. Does the child order his/her father and mother to to go bed? That's strange... so, I checked why we say "Oyasuminasai" when we sleep.

Are you keeping going back and forth in your IELTS speaking?

Have you found yourself saying the same thing over and over again when you answer various part 1, 2, or 3 questions of the IELTS??

Students are too eager to try to be perfect, and with this perfectionism, they get stuck on being dissatisfied with what they are saying (almost always!). Have you had that?

In this podcast, I go over one element that can make a huge difference in your performance if corrected. 

You may feel enlightened just by noticing it and becoming aware of it, and once corrected, the rewards might surprise you.

Jump into the recording, improve yourself there, and check my availability if you are preparing for any kind of interview or English-speaking engagement ahead of you.

I've helped thousands of people succeed in the spoken English arena; I can do the same for you.
