My name is Azren and on this podcast I share useful language learning tips. I also give you a behind-the-scenes look at any language learning projects I am working on. Right now, I am on an ambitious mission to help 100,000 people/year reach their fluency goals and I talk about that frequently on the podcast.

  • Interesting Podcast

    What works best for me is interacting with live instructors. I don’t do well studying on my own. I am also an auditory learner. YOU TUBE is a great agent for me. But I’m more motivated when I have a live class and can then use YouTube to reinforce what I learned in the live class.

  • One Gripe

    It is almost traumatic for me to listen to Azren constantly talk about his time working at a window cleaning franchise. His employers clearly bullied and took advantage of a kid straight out of high school with demands that he now sees as examples for treating his own employees. It is not OK to guilt trip a person for cancelling some 1-on-1 meeting with a supervisor in order to help his grandmother. I hope Azren can move past that experience and not use it as a model for anything other than over... more

  • Amateur hour

    This poser is barely qualified to listen to a language podcast, let alone making one.

  • A bit of motivation and inspiration in every episode

    I used to listen to podcasts only when commuting or walking but I prefer to save each episode of Azren’s show until I get home and feel like studying (or not at all). In any case, his advice is always helpful or motivating, it deserves your full attention🙂

    I also appreciate his honesty and persistence, keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Top tips to improve pronunciation
Q: Is there a risk of focusing too much on perfection or native-speaker norms?
They discuss that while sounding like a native isn't required for effective communication, being understood and confident is key. A balanced approach combines intended sounds with natural rhythm, intonation, and connected speech.
Top tips to improve pronunciation
Q: How should learners approach pronunciation beyond just phonetics?
The conversation stresses the importance of patterning and listening comprehension, explaining that perception and expectation shape what learners hear. Progress should be tracked holistically, including confidence and comfort speaking, not only phonetic accuracy.
Top tips to improve pronunciation
Q: What are your favorite drills or exercises for improving pronunciation, and what can learners do on their own time?
Susan recommends targeted drills for three to four problem sounds per learner, using recordings that break words into isolated sounds, practicing in front of a mirror, and incorporating face yoga to reduce fatigue. She emphasizes customizing drills to each student's needs and progressively integrating those sounds into natural speech, along with self-monitoring and regular review.
How to learn Spanish (or any language) before a trip
Q: Today's question comes from Nelson on Instagram, and he's asking how he can learn as much Spanish as possible before an upcoming trip in three months.
Azren responds that the most important step is to focus on fundamentals, identify what you will need for the trip, and then prioritize listening and reading with a recommended 70/30 time split favoring input, use a private tutor for conversation practice (even if infrequent), and keep grammar study to a minimum (about one day per week). He also points to a starter kit of resources and emphasizes practical language use for travel, including polite interactions and handling common travel scenarios.
How to stop translating in your head and flow instead
Q: What is the best way to learn more vocabulary and remember it to form sentences?
Increase vocabulary by reading and listening at your level, using a mix of active and passive strategies.
