The Level Up English Podcast

We all feel like we're not good enough from time to time, and sometimes this feeling affects our language learning. Have you ever felt "My English is terrible" or "I'm just not a strong language learner"?

If so, this is the episode for you.

You'll hear some ideas to let you know you're not alone, but also some practical advice and reminders to help overcome these negative feelings holding us back.

Join me on a long, hot walk through the suburbs of Bangkok as I talk and share some insights about life in Thailand.

I talk about some of the things I'm seeing as I walk, cultural differences, the difference between judgements and observations, and insights on language learning based on my experience with the Thai language.

Feeling a bit under the weather today, I share some thoughts on the idea of starting again and the feeling of getting back to old routines after a break.

AI has come up a few times on this podcast, but I haven't done a great job until now of discussing the drawbacks of using it. I'm not strongly pro or anti Artificial Intelligence, so it's only fair that I spend some time and talk about the ways in which we might want to question our relationship to it.

In this episode, I share the problem of outsourcing our thinking to AI, when you shouldn't use it, and also the downsides of using it for language learning.

I chat with Tom from the Thinking in English podcast about some ideas from his podcast. Like me, Tom has been publishing episodes for over 6 years, so we have a lot in common here.

We start by discussing the question of how to think in English (and whether this is actually a good goal), and then go into some debate topics inspired by some recent episodes on Tom's podcast.
