Transcript:

Hi, everybody! I\\u2019m Georgiana, your online English teacher. My mission is to help you to speak English fluently. Speaking English is way easier when you use the right material and techniques.

• In the first part of today\\u2019s episode, I\\u2019ll show you how you can benefit from creating habits that help you with your English.

• And in the second part of this episode, you\\u2019ll learn English grammar without studying any rules with an exclusive point of view story.

All right, let\'s get started! The first thing we have to keep in mind is that willpower is not as important as it seems. In fact, it\\u2019s quite limited. It\'s impossible to do anything consistently with willpower alone. We are not designed that way. We are creatures of habit, and essentially our life consists of a sum of habits. For example, think for a moment what you do when you wake up in the morning. Maybe you brush your teeth, make a cup of coffee and turn on your cell phone to check the social networks. I\'m sure that I have mentioned in one of the previous episodes that I speak different languages. Let me tell you now what I do to maintain and improve different languages through habits. I don\\u2019t know about you, but I enjoy taking a walk every day. And every time I open the door I put on my air-pods, I press play, and I start listening to an audiobook or a podcast in German, French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese. If I don\'t like what I hear, I simply select another content.\\xa0 What\\u2019s important is that I do this action almost without thinking, automatically. Of course, I don\\u2019t always listen to audiobooks or podcasts. Sometimes I just wanna relax and listen to music or not listen to anything at all. :)

And I don\\u2019t only listen when I go for a walk. I also listen to audiobooks or podcasts while I drive my car or even when I\'m doing my chores at home.

Recently, I realized that in the last few years I\'ve been listening to about 2000 hours of podcasts and audiobooks in several languages. That\\u2019s amazing! Right?
