Скачать или смотреть Why Some People Learn English Faster (and it doesn’t matter) | B2-C2 English Podcast

Why are some people better at learning languages than others? In this episode, we tackle this common question and challenge the assumptions behind it. I'll explain why comparing yourself to others is holding you back, what really matters in language learning (hint: it's not natural talent), and how to focus on what you can actually control—your habits.

If you've ever felt discouraged seeing others progress faster than you, this episode is for you. Let's shift your mindset from comparison to curiosity and get you back on track with your English learning journey.
