Cultivating your English: #4 : Find the time, do the work, get the results
❤️ 'If you don't find the time, if you don't do the work, you don't get the results.' - Arnold Schwarzenegger ❤️
I love helping people with their English, especially when people are motivated. Daniel is a great example, he is so motivated, creative and autonomous as a learner.
When in contact with English he says: “No, I don't feel nervous at all. I feel relaxed, excited and motivated”. 😎
When you feel like this the brain is much more receptive to learning new things- he has a very positive relationship with his English, which is awesome!
In his email he also said:
💡“sometimes I read books with the Kindle and I download the audiobook so I can do a "guided lecture" of the book and I can improve pronunciation because I'm reading and also listening the book at the same time :)”
What a fantastic idea! If you don’t have a kindle there are plenty of graded readers on youtube for free. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=graded+readers
Thanks for your feedback Daniel, and for you- my dear readers!

Does anyone know how the sentence “Hasta la vista, baby” was translated into the Spanish dubbed version?
