Conquering the "Inner Pig Dog"
Welcome to the Better English Better Business podcast, your guide for taking your English game to the next level!
On this week’s episode, you can join us as we chat about conquering the Inner Pig Dog (den inneren Schweinehund überwinden), and how to turn German perfectionism into perfect English. We understand how intimidating it can feel to improve your language skills, so this week we dive into common fears Germans have when learning English and share tips for overcoming them.
We also chat about how you can watch television to best work on improving your English. Did you know that watching sitcoms can give you an understanding of American/British humour and way of life? We certainly had a good chuckle when Patric told his knock-knock joke at 15:30. Don’t forget his bad joke and special add-on Aussie joke at 14:14 and 21:45 respectively!
Tune in to Better English Better Business podcast now and take one step closer towards ruling the world with your new language skills!
