English Podcast For Easy ESL English Conversation | Made a Mistake in English? That's GOOD!

Maya and Leo have good news: a mistake in English is not proof that you are bad at English. It is proof that you are speaking. In this warm, funny chat, they act out real mistake stories — Leo ordering a "kitchen sandwich" at a cafe, Maya saying she is "very exciting" about a party, Leo forgetting the word umbrella mid-sentence, and Leo booking a restaurant table for ten people instead of two — and after each story, they talk about what worked. You will also learn easy fix-it phrases ("I mean," "Let me say that again," "Thanks for correcting me"), how to describe a forgotten word another way, how to ask someone to correct you kindly, and a simple one-mistake-a-day journal idea that turns mistakes into progress.
