Hi everyone!

I\\u2019m Georgiana; founder of\\xa0SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

In this episode:

  • I\\u2019ll talk about the importance of moving and\\xa0studying English.
  • After that, we\\u2019ll practice grammar with a point of view story.

Ok, let\\u2019s get started!

Let me ask you a question. Imagine a person\\xa0learning English. He or she\\u2019s preparing to study a new lesson. How do you picture the scene? Perhaps this person\\u2019s sitting at home or in a quiet library with an open textbook, a dictionary, and a notebook. Maybe this person has been sitting for hours, almost motionless, trying to learn and memorize the content.

At least that\\u2019s the typical image that pops into my mind whenever I imagine an English student following the traditional method.

Now let\\u2019s visualize a different scene. Imagine someone walking around. Their whole body\\u2019s moving. The feet transmit movement to the legs and to the entire body. The arms are swinging slightly, and the brain receives more oxygen. You can\\u2019t be too lethargic when you walk, can you?

For me, this second state is the perfect one for learning.\\xa0The brain\\u2019s more awake, and it can acquire new knowledge faster.

And\\xa0there\\u2019s no need to carry around any textbooks, notebooks, dictionaries, pencils,\\xa0etc. That wouldn\\u2019t be practical at all while you\\u2019re walking. And people might start pointing you on the street as if you were some lunatic.

I\\u2019m sure that if you\\u2019ve been following me for some time now, you already know that there\\u2019s a\\xa0much more\\xa0efficient way to learn English.
You can now improve your English considerably by listening to interesting audios!

There\\u2019s no need to sit in a chair and listen to my podcast or my audio lessons. The only thing you need is your cell phone and your favorite earphones. Start taking a nice walk every day and improve your English skills at the same time.

In fact, the question and answer (Q&A) lessons are designed in such a manner so that you can simulate a conversation in English wherever you can and whenever you get some spare time.
