What's the best way to actually improve your English? In this episode, Sam and Anna talk about why learning English inside an online community is different from learning alone, working with a tutor, or going to a traditional school. Anna shares how she went from not being able to speak at all to completely forgetting she was even speaking English during a conversation.

We also talk about why being forced to speak English with people from different countries is so powerful, how meeting people from all over the world makes learning fun instead of feeling like homework, and why practice makes progress, not perfect.

This episode is perfect for intermediate and advanced English learners who want to find a better way to practise speaking.
