The Long Game: From Zero to Real Life in Language Learning - with Abbie Fulbrook. What happens when you move to a new country, start a new job, and can’t speak the language? Abbie Fulbrook did just that—13 years ago, when she moved from the UK to Japan. In this conversation for intermediate and advanced English learners, Abbie shares her experience learning Japanese from zero, and how it’s influenced the way she teaches English. We talk about staying motivated, moving past language plateaus, why “school English” doesn’t always match the real world, and how listening practice and real-life conversation are often more powerful than grammar drills. A refreshing and relatable listen for anyone who’s ever learned—or taught—a language. As always, I’ll note some useful intermediate/advanced language (B1/C1 Intermediate & Advanced English) along the way. 🔗 More from Abbie at weareenglishteachers.com   Hear You Go English language listening podcasts aim to give you, the intermediate English language learner and advanced English language learner, a space to practice your English listening so that you can think, learn, and connect in English.  ************** ⏰  To work with me 1:1 add your name to the waitlist. 📥 Do you get my newsletter?
