Shownotes Transcript

I teach a self-study exploratory practice approach to learning a foreign language. The result of this method is that people move beyond the levels of "Advanced" and "Proficient", and instead of fixating on achieving a certain "level", they invest in building a deliberate practice routine that might never end.

I show strategies and tools to build a meaningful practice routine for those who need more than the "advanced" level. I share my own process, and I teach the system of very concrete yet very creative exercises that help us develop the necessary skills to get to native-like fluency.

They are:


  • attentiveness


  • listening & short-term memory


- clarity


- brevity


- writing


- rhythm


  • articles


- questioning your own ideas


  • diction


- LEARNING HOW TO LEARN

This episode is about brevity - the art of speaking less while saying more in a foreign language.

I'm going to share:

  • Why it's frustrating


- Why it's normal


  • Tips to include brevity in your practice routine


- Exercises that help
