Ever wonder why your English practice feels like a solo struggle? What if the real game changer is finding the perfect group to practice with?
In this episode I’m talking about something that can really change the way you learn English: joining a language community. Let’s face it, learning a language alone isn’t enough. You need other people to practice with, to stay motivated, and to actually use your English. Whether it’s finding a local group for conversation or joining an online community, having others around you makes a huge difference.
And hey, if you can’t find one, why not create your own? I also share how starting something small, like a casual meetup at work or an online chat group, can really push your English forward. Plus, I’ll tell you all about our Fluent English Pro conversation clubs—where you can practice with other professionals in a structured, supportive space.
Key Takeaways:
A language community gives you support, motivation, and chances to practice.Active participation is key to improving your skills.Practicing English with a group speeds up your progress.Resources:

Can confidence be the missing piece in landing your dream remote job? We’ll explore why believing in yourself might be more important than you think.
In this episode, I talk with Eliana Medina, co-founder of Job Surfers, about breaking into the remote work world. We discuss two key ways Job Surfers helps: a hands-on bootcamp and a self-paced online course. Whether you want step-by-step help or prefer to learn on your own, both options guide you through building your professional profile, résumé, and preparing for interviews.
We also dive into how confidence often holds people back, especially in Latin America. Many think they won’t be taken seriously because of their accent or language skills. Eliana points out that companies care more about whether you can communicate and get the job done, rather than how flawless your English is. It’s not just about skills—it’s about believing you can do it.Key Takeaways:
Confidence can make all the difference when applying for remote jobs. You don’t need to be perfect—just clear and ready to show your skills.High-demand roles like finance, design, and software engineering are more accessible with the right help.Resources:

Does speaking English make you nervous? You're not alone—let’s discover how to turn that nervousness into confidence.
In today’s episode, we break down what it really means to speak confidently in English. Many people assume that confidence comes from talking fast or using fancy words, but the reality is much simpler—it’s about being clear and easy to understand. We kick off by stressing the importance of regular practice. Confidence isn’t something that just happens; it’s a skill that builds over time, like any other.
To help build this confidence, we suggest focusing on expanding your vocabulary, especially with words and phrases that you’ll use in your job and how non-verbal cues like body language, tone of voice, and eye contact can significantly impact how confident you seem. It’s not just about the words you choose, but how you deliver them.
Key Takeaways:
- Practice speaking English in low-pressure situations to build up your confidence.
- Focus on understanding and responding to others, not just on what you’re going to say next.
- Your mindset matters—believe that you can improve, and you will.

Fluency means speaking easily and naturally, while accuracy means using correct grammar, pronunciation, and verb tenses. The problem? People often focus too much on one and forget the other.

Phrasal verbs: love 'em or hate 'em? Either way, you won't want to miss this episode where we uncover their power and potential in English conversation.
In this episode, Julian and I got into a conversation about the intricacies of phrasal verbs. These combinations of verbs and prepositions often are completely different from their literal interpretations, presenting a challenge for learners despite English's overall grammatical simplicity. However, the use of phrasal verbs is essential for fluid communication in both professional and casual contexts.
Like Imagine yourself in a conversation with native speakers easily employing phrasal verbs. It's like navigating a different linguistic and language.Therefore, our discourse shows some examples such as "take on something extra," "run out of something," "get snowed under," "get through to someone," and "lay someone off."
Through consistent practice, individuals can seamlessly integrate these expressions into their lexicon, and sound like an expert in English.
Key takeaways:
- Phrasal verbs are like the secret sauce of English fluency—they add flavor and depth to your communication.
- Understanding the context is key to mastering phrasal verbs and using them effectively.
- Continuously expose yourself to phrasal verbs in real-life conversations, media, and language learning resources to solidify your understanding and usage over time.
