E28: The How & Why of Noticing Language (in which Catherine is tested by Bistra).

Hear You Go

Sep 19 2023 • 41 mins

What do you notice when you listen to a podcast or when you read a book? Do you actively notice language, and what do you do once you notice something?

In this episode, I talk with my friend and colleague, Bistra of English with Bistra, about the importance of noticing. We'll define some terms, then explain how people notice or can notice, and finally, what to do next so that you remember what it is that's caught your attention.

Plus, you'll hear Bistra quiz me a couple of times, and learn about why The Beatles were so important in Bistra's language development in English.

This episode will help both English language students and teachers learn how to notice better, and grow your English.

Be curious! You'll hear Bistra share this quote: "If you don’t want to learn, no one can make you, but if you want to learn, no one can stop you.” Don't let anything stop you!
