97. Your Teacher Is Lying to You

Ep. 97
•

There are many great English teachers out there, but the sad truth is that some are just looking to profit off your ignorance and insecurity. Instead of providing the tools you need to reach your goal, they sell you the dream of English fluency without effort. All you have to do is keep watching their videos and buy their overpriced courses.

It’s troubling that many language teachers spend little to no time talking about what languages are actually used for: communication. As a result, many English learners obsess over grammar, accents, and unnatural vocabulary, believing these are the keys to becoming great communicators. They've been misled into thinking that staying in their comfort zones and avoiding the truth is the most effective path to fluency. This couldn't be further from the truth.

In this episode, I want to simplify things for all English learners seeking practical solutions that won't waste their time or break the bank. With the help of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jimmy Carr, I'm going to show you the only thing you need to be fluent in English.

    In this episode, we’re talking about the profound impact of habits on the course of one's life. The results we experience in various aspects of life, such as finance and fitness, are often delayed reflections of our habits. But the thought of forming new and healthier habits is often very daunting because we typically imagine the herculean effort we're going to have to make in order to form those habits. — However, with the help of James Clear (author of the book ‘Atomic Habits’), I'm going to expose you to a concept that might change the way you think about forming simple habits that will have a massive impact on your future.-If you love this podcast and want to show some support, subscribe on Patreon! 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oContact me any time 👉 https://www.tonykaizen.com/

    36:18||Ep. 107
    If you’ve ever traveled to a foreign country, then you may have experienced the manipulative pricing schemes that many people use to take advantage of customers who aren’t familiar with the way things work in that country. In many places, it’s common practice to charge tourists up to 10 times the price that a local would pay for the same products or services, especially if the tourists come from North American or European countries. — In this episode, I’ll speak about the practicality and morality of such pricing schemes, and why I think they’re a bad idea.Timestamps:0:00 Intro0:28 Americans should pay more2:58 It keeps getting worse for Japan5:33 Arguments FOR discrimination8:49 The same logic, applied to race11:17 Moral implications14:34 Potential effects18:14 Is this really “equity”?22:15 Envy, hatred, and greed24:34 Who’s really making things more expensive?25:31 Pocket watching28:37 Playing the “social justice” game30:25 We’re just trying to make a profit33:55 Foreigners are not responsible for your problems-If you love this podcast and want to show some support, subscribe on Patreon! 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oContact me any time 👉 https://www.tonykaizen.com/
