As we say in English, let’s land the plane.
Remember my students at Lonza?
They said their problem was speaking.
But they also said they didn’t remember the name of their last teacher.
And THAT was their REAL problem — they weren’t interested in other people.
You see, when you’re interested in another person, you want to know more about him. And to know more about him you have to ask questions. Then a conversation starts. Then the person starts to like you because you’re interested in him. Then he becomes interested in you and asks you questions. Then you have a friend. And friends have lots of conversations. And when you have lots of conversations in English, your English naturally improves.
See how that works?
