AEE 259: Don't Bite Off More Than You Can Chew When It Comes to Learning English

In this episode of the All Ears English Podcast, Lindsay and Michelle discuss the importance of pacing oneself when learning English, cautioning listeners against "biting off more than they can chew." Michelle shares her experience of binge-watching Spanish learning videos and feeling overwhelmed, advocating for a slower, more deliberate approach. They suggest focusing on quality over quantity, recommending learners limit themselves to around 5-11 new vocabulary words at a time and practice using them in context to ensure retention. The hosts draw parallels to entrepreneurship and share personal anecdotes to illustrate the benefits of a steady, consistent learning pace, using the idiom "slow and steady wins the race" to emphasize their point.
