The British English Podcast

Become the English Speaker You Want to Be (free PDF) · Try The Academy
Every time you say "my English is terrible", you're telling yourself a story about the kind of speaker you are. In this episode, we look at Chapter 2 of Atomic Habits and why identity matters more than goals when you're learning English. You'll hear how to change the story you tell about your English, decide who you want to become, and prove it to yourself with small daily actions. The free PDF guide walks you through it step by step, with a completed example and a one-page identity map.
