The Language Learning Show

My name is Azren and on this podcast I share useful language learning tips. I also give you a behind-the-scenes look at any language learning projects I am working on. Right now, I am on an ambitious mission to help 100,000 people/year reach their fluency goals and I talk about that frequently on the podcast.

Here's why I aim for fluency 25.06.2025

I'm proud of my work again 17.04.2025

Real talk: I was disappointed in myself. In 2023, I realized that students at the Calgary Language Nerds progressed slowly. I also noticed that most people didn't take many lessons. I think the average used to be something like 16 hours of class per person...in the course of a year.
