Doing English With Julian Northbrook

What do Tiger Woods, Mozart and good language learners have in common? In this week's episode you'll discover the "dirty word" of language learning: talent.   I discuss the evidence for and against talent in language learning, why it's silly to think you CAN'T do it, and what exactly it is that successful people do to get REALLY good.   I also tell you a little of my story as an "untalented" secondary school student, who everyone said would never do anything other that work in a factory. Well, I did work in a factory for a while - and it was one of the most educational times of my life.   You can learn more about that story here: http://doingenglish.com/story
