Why listen to today's episode?
I want to help you bust a common myth that says something like this: in order to practice for teh CELPIP exam or practice English in general and do it well - then you need to devout large amounts of time in immersive experiences.
That's a myth.
What I want to help you realize today is this: consistent practice, no matter the length, is vital and better than not practicing at all.
- It's not always possible to work extensively on your English.
- Sometimes you need to practice small to maintain consistency.
- Learning English is very much about consistency and very little about intensive immersive experiences that you don't do frequently.
Here's what I'll cover:

The quote I mentioned:
In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering. In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.Adaptability is the way of consistency. - James Clear
