Why does speaking a new language sometimes feel so strange and unfamiliar? It’s not just about vocabulary or grammar—it’s what I call the Identity Loss Problem. In this episode, we dive into a crucial yet overlooked aspect of language learning: the social psychological challenge of identity loss.

As you move from intermediate to fluent, you might feel disconnected from your sense of humor, cultural references, and even your sense of self. This can lead to frustration and insecurity, but don’t worry, it’s all part of the process! Tune in to learn how language shapes our identity and how to overcome this common trap to become fluent with confidence.

Never Say This Sentence When Learning a Language! Say This Instead...

Hi, language learners! 🌍 Whether you're learning your first or fifth language, there’s one sentence that’s sabotaging your progress—and you might not even know it. 😱

When you say, "I'm sorry, I don't speak (your language), I can't even pronounce it," you're training your brain to believe you CAN'T do it. And guess what? Your brain listens.

❌ Stop programming yourself for failure.
✅ Start reframing for success.

Instead, say this:
"I didn’t understand that—I'm still learning. Can you help me?"
By identifying yourself as a learner and asking for help, you're keeping your brain open to growth and progress. PLUS, people love helping! 😄

Remember: Focus on progress, not perfection.

Hi, I’m Dr. Alex! I am a social psychologist and I use social psychology to make language learning fun so that you can speak with ease and unshakable confidence.

It’s like staring up at a huge mountain, and the more you think about how hard it will be to climb, the more impossible it feels. But don’t worry, I’m here to give you three practical steps to overcome that!

Let’s break it down.

Step 1: Break It Down Into Daily Bits

First things first, think about what’s realistically doable in one day. Where can you squeeze in just five minutes of language practice?

Step 2: Make It Even Smaller

Now, take that daily goal and shrink it even more. Yep, you heard me! Reduce it to the point where it feels almost too small, where you think, “Oh, that’s easy, I can definitely do that!”

Step 3: Build Consistency Over Time

The magic happens when you do these small tasks every day. Because they’re so easy, you won’t procrastinate. You’ll find yourself building a habit, and over time, those tiny efforts will add up to major progress.

I published a video https://youtu.be/rESnoLVNxtI on the importance of overcoming the fear of making mistakes when speaking a new language. One of my dear viewers asked an important question:

“What do you do if you’re speaking with a native speaker, and they think it’s rude to correct you, while you keep making mistake after mistake?”

Thank you so much, this is such a valuable question.

You’re absolutely right — sometimes, it feels like people hesitate to correct us because they don’t want to seem impolite. But how can we improve if we don’t get the feedback we need?

In some cultures, offering feedback, even in casual conversations, is seen as helpful and encouraging. In others, correcting someone can be considered rude, making people reluctant to provide guidance — even when it would help us improve.

So how do we navigate this cultural difference and actively seek the corrections that are essential to mastering a new language?

As a social psychologist, I help people learn languages and speak with confidence, and I also use the language learning process as a brilliant way to grow and to become a better version of yourself, using the Everyday Nano Method.

Learning a new language is all about growth and the growth mindset, and seeking corrections is a key part of that process.

So here are three simple steps you can use to encourage native speakers to correct you so you can learn even faster!

So, what do you do when you just cannot memorize that one grammar rule? Listen to the podcast to discover my simple, three-step technique to beat that feeling of overwhelm when learning a language.

Frequently, my students come up to me, frustrated and asking, “Dr. Alex, what’s the secret to learning faster? I’m fed up with just memorizing vocabulary!” I get it—focusing on vocabulary alone can feel like running on a treadmill without moving forward. I remember when I was learning my third language, and I felt the same way. No matter how many words I memorized, I couldn’t seem to speak confidently. That’s when I realized the secret wasn’t just about knowing words; it was about creating real experiences with the language.

And that’s exactly what I’m going to share with you today!
