About this episode

In this episode, Aaron Nelson discusses the feelings of failure in learning English and preparing for the CELPIP exam, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and conversation.

Feeling like a failure is something we all grapple with at times, especially when it comes to learning English or preparing for the CELPIP exam. In this episode, I dive into that heavy feeling of defeat and how it can trick us into thinking we’re not making any progress.
