This blog is such a refreshing and practical guide for adult learners. It really simplifies what can otherwise feel like a complicated journey. I appreciate how it balances mindset with actionable steps and even includes support through the Study Buddy Program. The friendly tone makes it feel super approachable too. Do most learners find it more helpful to start with pronunciation or basic sentence formation first?
Welcome back Kavitha, thanks again for your comments. It’s difficult to answer your questions as the true answer is I don’t know. Everyone has an entry point and everyone learns differently. I do my best to appeal to as many people as possible. Most students don’t tell me what works, they just go along with whatever we’re doing.
