Episode notes
Celebrate Small Listening Wins
- Do stay patient when you miss sentences; concentrate on small wins like understanding a few more words on repeat listens.
- Michael highlights that slight progress (two more words) is motivating and counts as success.
Choose Consistent Short Listening Sessions
- Prefer short regular listening sessions over infrequent long ones to build consistency.
- Michael recommends 15 minutes daily rather than one long weekly session and suggests splitting long episodes across commutes.
Read Transcripts While Listening
