89. How To Apply A Poker Improvement Theory To Improve Your Mindset Speaking English

Last year a colleague gave me a book called The Mental Game of
Poker by Jared Tender (Thank you, Juan!). I thought, but I don't
need to know anything about poker...?


Anyway, I gave it a read and found it really eye-opening in terms
of the way to look at improving a skill, such as speaking another
language.


I'm going to share with you the part that really resonated with
me and helped me understand why I ask myself "Why do I feel like
I'm not making any progress? I've been speaking Spanish for
 4 years and I some days I feel like I've never spoken a
word before"


The ideas in this book gave me some perspective on that. I've
shared it with my students and now I want to share it with you
too.


Enjoy!
