description

Max has learned English as his first foreign language as an adult and he is not a polyglot. He actually started in his early twenties as a monolingual speaker of Spanish and he not only managed to learn English, but he was able to reach a proficient level and now he even has his own podcast and his own community.

In this video, Max will share language learning tips, but he will also open up about what his challenges were when getting started and what strategies helped him the most both for effective learning as well as regarding mindset issues.

Max's story shows that it is never too late to learn. Just because you did not learn a language (or something else) as a kid or as a teenager, does not mean that you can not learn it as an adult.

Please make sure to leave a comment and indicate what has helped you the most, what are are your favourite resources, what challenges you've faced and how you personally dealt with them. I would love to learn about your language learning success stories! :)
