Gabby: 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.

[Instrumental]

Gabby: [Sings] “A whole new world.”

Lindsay: A whole new way. There is a new way to learn English, guys and you don’t have to do what you’ve always done. In this episode, you’ll learn about it.

[Instrumental]

Gabby: Hey Lindsay. How’s it going?

Lindsay: Hey Gabby. It’s going well.

Gabby: Awesome. All right. Well good to see you today.

Lindsay:

Yeah, you too. I’m happy to be here. It’s great to be back.

Gabby:

Cool. I wanted to share a quote with you guys today and we’ll discuss it a little bit. It’s another Einstein quote. It is “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” Lindsay:

Whoa!

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

That’s awesome.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

Einstein was a brilliant guy. Obviously, I didn’t know he, (you know)…

Gabby:

He has a lot of good quotes. We’ve discussed his quotes before. But I really particularly like this quote because it’s talking about learning and (um), (you know), how to really use your mind.

Lindsay:

(Um). Yeah, and I think this is important because I think or the impression that I get after speaking with a lot of students is that when you learned English in school, when you were 12, 15, 17, you actually may have learned English in the sense of memorizing facts.

Gabby:

Right. Memorizing grammar.

Lindsay:

Oh, gosh. And I don’t know. I think it can be done a different way.

Gabby:

I agree. And the first thing that a lot of people say as a joke, (you know), when they talk about learning English is this one sentence that they memorized: “The book is on the table.” I mean is that really learning English or is that just learning a fact. Like that one sentence.

Lindsay:

Sounds like learning a fact, I think.

Gabby:

And that’s the joke, right? That’s why it’s so funny. Is (Like) why do we learn this one sentence? We need to learn how to think about language.

Lindsay:

Yeah and it’s okay. (I mean) that’s what was happening in school when you were growing up and you didn’t have any control over that. That’s just what you were exposed to, but now you’re an adult and you can, you can take control of your own education.

Gabby:

Totally. So that’s really the philosophy behind our All Ears English Podcast because we want to just talk to you guys, we want to share ways to train your mind, (like) different strategies for learning English and just have you immersed in (the) English language.

Lindsay:

Yeah, and we want to have fun. It’s about fun. (I mean) we think that learning English, learning language is about connecting and just having a good time. Let’s bring some fun back into learning.

Gabby:

Totally. Building good habits too, for, for studying and having fun with it.

Lindsay:

Absolutely.

Gabby:

Yeah, so keep this quote in mind, “Education’s not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think” and just (um), yeah, let’s develop some ways to get your minds totally trained to think, right, to speak some real English in a new way.
