Mangiare la pizza 🍕 con le posate vs Tagliare gli spaghetti 🍝 😲😲😲😜

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.

A very interesting talk, looking at the complex phenomenon of love from the perspective of science, and trying to understand what is really happening which makes us feel such strong feelings.

Beginner Chinese Listening：新年快乐  Happy New Year

Beginner Chinese Listening

In this episode, we talk about the pleasure we get from hearing stories, and I share with you a beautiful tale about the joy that comes from helping others. Listen now, and then read the (shortened) transcript below to check your understanding.

This story takes place in a hospital, many years ago. And there was a room where there were two men, both seriously ill. One of those men was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend of all his time lying flat on his back. He couldn’t see anything, except the ceiling.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke about their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, where they’d been on vacation, and the things they’d learned in their lives. And every afternoon, when the man in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the wonderful things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and the colour of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every colour of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all of this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene..........
