25.01.2022 A man whose ax was missing suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief. Later that day the man found his ax while he was digging in the valley, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked, and spoke like any other child.

25.01.2022 Giving up is something that everyone who has big goals thinks about at some point in time. Thomas Watson said: Would you like me to give you the formula for success?... It’s quite simple, really. DOUBLE your rate of failure... You’re thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure - or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you’ll find success. On the other side of failure. I’ve found this to be true in every area of my life and business. The more I fail the more I succeed! Which means there’s no giving up for me now.. Not when I know there’s more success on the other side of my next failure! So...Don’t give up !

25.01.2022 Listen in to 2 different ways through which we can improve. The first most people concentrate on. Very few consciously work at the second. However the second can make all the difference for advanced speakers of English (or any other language)

25.01.2022 Listen in to 2 different ways through which you can improve your English pronunciation. Most people concentrate on the first way. Very few consciously work at the second. However, the second can make all the difference for advanced speakers of English (or any other language)

24.01.2022 Here is a 5 step process you can use to improve your English speaking (or any other language for that matter). Learn to master these steps and you will never look back!

23.01.2022 Yes, just increasing your focus on one thing CAN and will improve every aspect of your speaking

22.01.2022 Not in Language Learning 101 BUT One of the first steps in learning to listen better is to quieten what is happening in your head. ... If your head is filled with shoulds, fears, worries and judgements then there is little left to hear with.

22.01.2022 Of course, sleeping is a critical part of bedding down what we learn. However, If you like sleeping and learning, have a look at this! :-)

22.01.2022 A checklist to help you see if you are on the path to real improvement in your English speaking ( applies to all languages of course)

22.01.2022 Focus on this skill, and I can guarantee that your learning will improve. A big claim I know. However this is what I have seen time and time again in the over 30 years I have been a teacher of English (and other languages) and a language learner.

22.01.2022 Finding the inspiration that will take you from being mediocre to really excelling in English (or any other language you are learning) is a key. Without making that shift, native-like levels will stay outside of the possibilities of learners.

21.01.2022 If you are wondering about how good your accent can become, check out this wild thing!

21.01.2022 As long as you believe someone else or your circumstances are the reasons your English (or another language) is not improving, it will not. Autumn has arrived here(In Melbourne). Time to dispense with the old and the worn.

21.01.2022 So true. Something that is ignored too often, with the results usually being struggle and disappointment.

20.01.2022 Do you suffer from the procrastination disease? Cure it by following using the "Jerry Seinfeld strategy". He is one of the great masters of consistency, churning out scripts for his hit show, year in year out.

20.01.2022 Speaking skills for Professional and Business migrants in Melbourne CBD on Thursday evenings (6-8) and Saturday mornings ( 10-12) in Hawthorn For details see: https://www.meetup.com/Melbourne-English-for-Professionals/ or... https://www.meetup.com/Free-English-Speaking-Upper-Interme/ See more

19.01.2022 The language we use about others and ourselves can change the perceptions we have and hence the actions taken and the results achieved.

19.01.2022 Listen in and find out why this myth has stuck with us so long. Find out the reasons why we have this myth and what you can do about it, SO you can approach native-like levels

19.01.2022 Here is a place where you can connect with people ONLINE and keep working on your English at the same time. At the moment it is only 2 hours per week, but as the demand increases, I will increase the number of days it is run. Check it out! Free!

18.01.2022 Language helps to form what we see, think, feel and taste.

18.01.2022 Translation is commonly used by people learning a new language and of course it is most useful at times. However, it's indiscriminate use can undermine you actually achieving mastery. Surprised you may be, but true it is! . Listen in and find out why. You can check out a written version here: https://englishconfidenceunlocked.com/the-dangers-of-trans/

18.01.2022 It has now started. Come on by. Check out the dates and time by clicking below. In or close to Melbourne CBD

17.01.2022 Do more of this to maximise chances of learning a language: - use the language - use your ears to learn - aim to learn skills and improve them till you gain confidence... Do less of this: - memorise new words - study grammar - improve your knowledge - worry about making mistakes

17.01.2022 Interesting quote about learning. "... career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem it’s more about finding the right problem to solve. "What Straight-A Students Get Wrong" NY Times

17.01.2022 Transform your possibilities by working on your listening. That will give you the best short and long term results. 30 Day Listening Bootcamp starting June 27. For details check out https://englishconfidenceunlocked.com/30-day-listening-boo/ . Places are limited so get in quick.

17.01.2022 Taking some time off, I am reminded that when the sun shines, everything seems rosy. However, when the rains and storms come, maintaining that same attitude is a choice. That is the same when we are working to learn something, like a language. Keeping going and improving and refining sometimes seems to go well. We need to be prepared to keep going when things aren't going so smoothly.

17.01.2022 Native like-like levels in English are well in your grasp IF you take on practices that will get you there and discard the ones that put you on dead end paths

17.01.2022 Something all of us can learn from.

16.01.2022 Achieving high scores in speaking is what many need to gain entry into a course, get a visa, a job, a promotion etc. It is possible. However you need to be doing things that will lead you there, not wasting your time on activities that don't. FInd out here what they are.

16.01.2022 Just another reason why translation, while necessary, is a poor way to rely upon to learn a language.

15.01.2022 Is English spelling overated?

15.01.2022 It's common for language learners to get to a place where their pronunciation gets stuck. It can be at any level! If you feel it has, listen to this to see what you can do about it. I refer to a link in the video - Listen to the video..then the link will make sense. :-) Here it is - https://englishconfidenceunlocked.com/check-english-pronun/

14.01.2022 One reason babies learn so well is that they are completely present in whatever they do. Another is that they don't waste their time studying grammar rules or drawing up lists of vocabulary that they might one day need!

14.01.2022 Nothing can stop you improving your English, once you learn to get rid of any disempowering beliefs about yourself you may have. And embrace ways that grow your skills and confidence. Stay clear of ways that don’t do both.

14.01.2022 Another place to connect online and chat with other people in English. At the same time you will get some input on your English...very limited...but enough for you to become more aware of the issues you need to work on. This is NOT a teaching environment. It IS a learning environment where you can link up and keep using and developing your English. FREE. Initially is once a week only, but if there is a demand I am quite prepared to increase the slots per week. Check it out! :-)

13.01.2022 If you want to improve your speaking (and keep improving it!) stay tuned. Going to be launching a 30 day Bootcamp very soon. Just by changing ONE thing you do, you will discover just how straightforward it is to improve your speaking. :-)

13.01.2022 Muscle memory is what needs to be created if you wish to create a new / refined pronunciation. Pronunciation is a skill, like any other, quite distinct from the meaning it carries. This video clarifies what muscle memory is. Interesting insight.

12.01.2022 I can give you a guarantee that if you improve your listening, your speaking will improve. It must! If you can hear more, then you can start to adjust your speaking.

11.01.2022 I suspect if we asked 5 different people about how to practice, we would get 5 different answers. Why? Because no one ever explained to us what is valuable practice and what is wasted practice. Listen in and discover what kinds of practise lead to improvement!

09.01.2022 https://www.linkedin.com//native-like-english-within-ever/

09.01.2022 Another reason why translation can get in the way.

09.01.2022 Learning to do less and cut out the distracting noises, both internally and externally, is a key to be able to focus on what you need for your learning to proceed. By doing less you hear more and you can do more.

09.01.2022 This is what happens when you get your accent "wrong"

09.01.2022 Not learning English (or any language) as a skill will create obstacles that are hard to get around. Listen in and discover the guilty practices and why they need to be avoided at all cost. This is the 3rd of 4 reasons why the myth of adults not being able to achieve native-like levels in a second language persist.

08.01.2022 The A to Z to consider if you want to achieve mastery in any language. Many people wonder why they are struggling. There can be many reasons. Check yourself against these 26 to identify where you are at. You may find things you are ignoring, mistakenly doing or possibly doing in ways that give you limited benefits. Check them out!

08.01.2022 Gain some insights as to how to make your "practice" of English more valuable... At advanced levels, there is still a need to do some highly focussed work if your aim is to keep improving. Improvement may happen just from using the language. However, there may be some entrenched issues which may end up requiring more than that. This clip is taken from a coaching session I had with an advanced learner who is working at transferring what he has achieved in reducing his accent at word level into his everyday speech.

08.01.2022 Come along and work on improving your English through conversation ( in Melbourne) . Some guidance and advice is provided during the conversation. At the same time the conversation remains light and free flowing, so that participation is easy. Check out the link...

07.01.2022 Tim Cahill : ‘It doesn't stop unless I want it to stop. To those who doubt me, I'm the conductor, not you. If there's an obstacle I'll go through it, I'll go around it, I'll go over it.' Australian soccer legend

07.01.2022 Here I propose some alternatives to the bankrupted practices that have derailed learners from achieving native-like speaking skills in a second language. This is the fourth pillar that has been supporting that myth about native like skills acquisition nor being achievable. It has limited language learners aspirations for too long.

07.01.2022 The second leg that holds up the myth that achieving native like levels in a new language is not really possible is the one of learning approach. Without learning with passion, excellence is not really feasible. Listen in and find out what is needed to learn with passion.

06.01.2022 Happy New Year to all. Here is what we can do towards achieving that for ourselves and for others.

06.01.2022 We all know listening is important BUT learning to improve HOW you listen to yourself will make all the difference. An area that VERY little if no attention is paid to in the learning of languages. Listen in and find out exactly why it is so important. For more info check out: http://bit.ly/ECU30lbc

05.01.2022 A key reason why learning to play any sport well is easier than learning to speak English (or any other language) well is not what you may immediately think. Sure, there is a lot more to a language in MANY ways. However, there are so many similarities. Why? Because both are skills. Listen in to a short 3 minute recording of a part of one of my coaching sessions and discover one of the key reasons why learning to excel in speaking English requires your awareness in an area we are not so used to focussing on anymore. #english #speaking #learning #speakenglish

04.01.2022 The ONLY way to improve your accent is to improve your listening. Of that there is no doubt! Here is how you can do it! Prices reduced by 70%! for a limited time

03.01.2022 Just imagine learning to bounce a ball one day and then the next expecting to be playing basketball like a pro. That is what you are thinking when you learn to "fix" a pronunciation issue one day and then expect the fixed sound to be used in your speaking the next! Repetition is not the answer either. The answer lies in understanding that there are steps to go through in any skill before you can become skilled in use. Pronunciation is no different. Without going through the steps, no matter how advanced you are, you are just going to struggle. I will be laying out these steps and a whole lot more in the Free 10 Day Pronunciation Challenge starting next week (May 11) https://englishconfidenceunlocked.com/pronunciation-challen

02.01.2022 How good are you at guessing people's accents. Try the quiz! Is a bit of fun and may even help to stretch your listening a bit....which is always good! :-)

02.01.2022 Make sure you get on the court if you really want to improve your skills and confidence! Listen in and find out what is absolutely necessary to do to get to the highest levels, and near the end you will find out what else you need to embrace.

01.01.2022 If you are feeling stressed about how you are progressing (or anything else) take a nature pill!
