Life lessons with Agnes Rubinho | Intermediate English Conversations

Hey English learners and listeners!

🎙️ This is it: episode 50 of Hear You Go podcast—"We have to be less afraid of judgment and more open to learning", Agnes Rubinho.

❣️Episode 50 marks the end of Season 2, and to close this fabulous season of podcasts, this intermediate English conversation offers you an amazing chat with a Brazilian English language teacher, Agnes Rubinho.

Teachers: did you know Agnes has written a book for freelance English language teachers? You’ll hear us discuss a few things from her book, and afterward, I know you'll want to buy it. I did! It’s full of information I wish I’d known when I was first branching out to become a freelance, independent teacher.

You’re not a teacher?

If you're an English language learner, this episode will give you tips on what to look for in an English language teacher, and the benefits you get when you find the right teacher for you.

English Listening Challenge:

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ The episode provides a good lesson in word stress and intonation.

🎧 Listen to the way Agnes pauses and adds emphasis to the words she wants you to hold on to. She has a manner of speaking English that draws you in and keeps you hooked.

🙌 That’s what good speaking is all about: engagement and connection.

So, that’s your assignment: listen for all this delicious, engaging, messy, and wonderfully spontaneous messy English that both Agnes and I offer you in our chat.
