بهترین زمان شروع مطالعه انگلیسی چیست؟

This is an All Ears English Podcast, Episode 33: Deep Thoughts Thursday.

Welcome to the All Ears English Podcast, where you’ll finally get real, native English conversation. Now here are your hosts, Lindsay McMahon, the ‘English Adventurer’ and Gabby Wallace, the ‘Language Angel,’ coming to you from Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

In this episode, you’ll find out when the perfect time is to start studying English.

Hey Gabby. How’s it going today?

Good. How are you doing Lindsay?

I’m doing great. So today we have a quote to share and what is that quote? Do you wanna (want to) read it?

“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.”

Oh my gosh. So deep.

It is. You know what? This is actually one of my favorite quotes. It’s (um) kind of my philosophy. I mean, if you always wait for that point in the future when things are just right like, like when all the stars align and all the chips fall into place. You know it’s just not gonna (going to) happen.

It’s just never gonna (going to) happen because the stars really don’t align. (I mean), you have to make them align, right?

Exactly. So if we think about language learning, it’s like well I will what? Study when I have more time?

You’ll never have more time.

Exactly. I know. You never get more time, right? (Uh), I’ll enroll in a class when I have more money.

Mm-hm.

(Um) I mean when you think about it, (like), if you invest in a class now, you’ll probably reap the benefits and make more money in the long-term because you’ll have that language skill.

Right and look at these, I don’t know, famous entrepreneurs, famous people who’ve done amazing things. They have the same 24 hours in the day that you have.

Right.

Right. So just think about how you’re using that time and just go after the thing that you wanna (want to) do. Don’t wait. Don’t put it off because putting it off is just fearing it.

Right. And this kinda (kind of) is (uh) is really directly linked to our quote from last week about, (you know), action is the foundational key to all success. It’s just about taking action, right? (You know), don’t delay. Of course think, right? Think a little bit, make sure you’re taking the right (uh) course of action, but don’t just stay in your head.

Definitely.

Do, do take action. (Um), as far as your studying, (you know), if (um) it’s, if it’s important to you, you need to take five minutes. Just, if that’s all you can spare at first, take five minutes and start studying. Those five minutes will make a difference.

(Mm-hmm). There you go.

They really will. Same thing with (like) exercise. (I mean), if you can start with a five-minute jog, that’s the best thing to do. (You know) you don’t have to (um) pressure yourself into thinking ‘Oh, I have to run for a mile…’ or for – sorry – ‘for (uh, uh) an hour.’ Lindsay:

Yeah.

You know (like)…

You’ll start to build that sense of momentum.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

So just start small. Don’t wait. Do it now.

Go for it.

Go for it.

Yeah.

Just do it. Cool. All right. Well, thank you so much for listening today to our ‘Deep Thoughts Thursday.’ And we can’t wait to join you guys in the New Year, so…

Absolutely. And don’t forget to subscribe to this podcast, if you haven’t done it yet.

Yeah. Absolutely. Subscribe, share it with your friends (um) and definitely we’ll see you guys in the New Year. Keep listening.

I’ve been getting some questions from students, from listeners, from you guys (um) about what we’re saying.

Sometimes (um) maybe you’re listening and you’re not quite sure if you caught what we said, or you heard us but you weren’t sure about the word that we actually said, so what we’ve done is we’ve created transcripts where you can read every single word that we said in print.

So it’s super easy to understand everything and this is a great way to push your English up a level and to really feel confident with your understanding and to be able to use those words in writing and speaking in your own conversations. So in order to get those premium transcripts, just come to www.allearsenglish.com/conversations.
