The most important part of this whole method of immersion learning is obviosly your immersion. You absolutely need to have fun!

This is part 1 of 2. Antonello Zanini from Italy is quite an inspiration to me. He is a software engineer and technical writer and is a succesful writer on Medium.
Spreading knowledge through writing is his mission
Daniel and Antonello discuss the importance of building a writing habit in order to improve your English writing skills (and other skills as well). Spending a lot of hours writing is not necessary to become good at it, but rather consistency and daily practice are key.
Antonello shares his experience using ChatGPT as a language learning tool to replace Italki, which he feels has become more focused on selling courses and buying hours with teachers. He wrote his daily notes on ChatGPT and asked for feedback, finding that the responses are similar to what he would receive from a human.

Martin Johnston loves to teach English through personal stories (storytelling) and through non conventional methods. It's great to learn from him and his podcast. He really knows a thing or two about learning (teaching) a language, especially British English.
His "unfiltered" podcast (Rock N'Roll English, first episode aired in 2016) with real life stories is there to improve our English.
In this interview, we learn more about Martin's language story, how he ended up in Italy and went back to the UK and how his podcast came to be. It's inspiring and educational at the same time. A shout-out to Martin Johnston!

Personal storytelling can be used to improve language skills. Interview with Fabio Cerpelloni.
YouTube version
On the previous episode 121, we learned from Lucia that we can learn through listening to other personal stories. "Everyone has a story to tell". On this episode (122) it's all about telling your own stories in order to improve in your target language. Even though Fabio Cerpelloni's personal language learning journey did not involve storytelling, he fell in love with telling stories from his own life and has even started to integrate it in his teachings. The book "Story Worthy" by Matthew Dicks inspired Fabio's podcast (Stolaroid Stories) and focus on personal storytelling. Best stories are about failure and can impact others. Fabio is currently writing a book about his personal journey of learning English and how to learn the language in an organic way. We hope that we can have him on My Fluent Podcast for a second round so that we can learn more about his inspiring journey. Thank you Fabio!What are you waiting for?
