## Resource

In today’s episode, I want to talk about things that affect learning and language learning specifically and that might not come that naturally to you. Because sometimes people think the biggest problem is grammar or vocabulary, not having enough talent or not having enough time. And yeah, those are very often the most visible and key problems that everyone talks about. But I want to talk about more sneaky things. Things that are securely hidden in our habits, our mindset, our attention span, our fear of embarrassment and in the way we talk to ourselves and that can severely influence the way we view our learning journey. ⭐ Přepis a slovíčka : TADY ⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :) 🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem - můj e-book :) Hosted on Acast.
