I'm Olya - and this is my real-time journey to passing the CAE exam in one year. Each week, I share my personal wins, failures, strategies, and struggles as I prepare for the Cambridge English C1 Advanced. Not a teacher. Not a native speaker. Just one learner, figuring it out step by step. If you're preparing for CAE or just love language learning - welcome aboard. Let's grow together. Warning: occasional grammar rants, vocabulary obsessions, and awkward pronunciation moments included

My CAE Journey

3,000 hours later – why I still make mistakes (and why that’s okay)

In this episode, I reflect on how long it really takes to learn English. I share my personal timeline: from 2012 to now and explain why 3,000+ hours later I still make mistakes… And why that’s actually a good sign. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be better by now,” this one’s for you. Let’s talk real fluency, imposter syndrome, progress, and what actually matters in the long run.

My CAE Journey

What is the CAE Exam?

I’m Olya, and I’ve just decided to take the CAE exam in one year. In this very first episode, I share what the exam is really about — the parts, the timing, the scoring — and why I’ve said “yes” to this big, scary, exciting challenge. If you’re on a similar path, or just curious about what it takes — welcome. I’m figuring it out as I go, and you’re invited. 🎧 New episodes every Friday.
