  4. Learning English Through Writing

    Learning English Through Writing

    This is part 1 of 2. Antonello Zanini from Italy is quite an inspiration to me. He is a software engineer and technical writer and is a succesful writer on Medium.  Spreading knowledge through writing is his mission Daniel and Antonello discuss the importance of building a writing habit in order to improve your English writing skills (and other skills as well). Spending a lot of hours writing is not necessary to become good at it, but rather consistency and daily practice are key.   Antonello shares his experience using ChatGPT as a language learning tool to replace Italki, which he feels has become more focused on selling courses and buying hours with teachers. He wrote his daily notes on ChatGPT and asked for feedback, finding that the responses are similar to what he would receive from a human.

    Martin Johnston from Rock N'Roll English Podcast - Unexpected Stay in Italy and Love for Teaching English

    Martin Johnston loves to teach English through personal stories (storytelling) and through non conventional methods. It's great to learn from him and his podcast. He really knows a thing or two about learning (teaching) a language, especially British English.  His "unfiltered" podcast (Rock N'Roll English, first episode aired in 2016) with real life stories is there to improve our English.  In this interview, we learn more about Martin's language story, how he ended up in Italy and went back to the UK and how his podcast came to be. It's inspiring and educational at the same time. A shout-out to Martin Johnston! "You don't have to be great to start, but if you want to be great, you have to start."
