0 00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.360 Hello friends this episode is all about slowing down
1 00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:10.740 So please relax and enjoy the ride on our language story.
2 00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:13.860 I'm Daniel Goodson, the Language learner.
3 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.060 This is my fluent podcast. (Itunes, Stitcher, spotify)
4 00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:22.140 I thought I'd do something a little different this weekend and record.
5 00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:27.900 an episode on the go about a topic which is not directly something to do with learning languages.
6 00:00:28.340 --> 00:00:30.340 Well, at least not 100%
7 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.000 What I will still intecrate some language learning elements, of course.
8 00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:37.600 It's more of a self-awareness thing.
9 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:38.600 nist time
10 00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:41.480 Don't forget those who are not into this.
11 00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:45.840 There will be normal episodes in the future. Don't worry about that.
12 00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:53.300 Well, actually I went for a walk in the forest. Fortunately, I live about four minutes on foot.
13 00:00:53.860 --> 00:00:54.860 by the forest
14 00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:57.220 And several thoughts came to mind...
15 00:00:57.700 --> 00:00:58.700 ...while I was walking...
16 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.480 The audio quality was not very good. So I recorded afterwards.
17 00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:07.160 Although I must say the ambience noise...
18 00:01:07.580 --> 00:01:08.180 ..in the background..
19 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.480 ...are from my recordings.
20 00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:11.940 This is incredible!
21 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.940 The sound of the birds
22 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:16.380 the chirping (frogs and toads, grasshoppers and many more animals and insects)
23 00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:19.460 And just the sound of of my foot.
24 00:01:20.860 --> 00:01:24.560 Walking on on the Leafs. They look just great.
25 00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:32.660 time is of the coronavirus in general I notice how quiet it got without the airplane noises and so on
26 00:01:33.580 --> 00:01:40.380 so often times when I go for a walk I put my noise canceling headphones on and it's a Pity it. Really
27 00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:44.200 Why don't you just listen to your surroundings?
28 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:45.380 ...of the nature...
29 00:01:45.940 --> 00:01:46.840 Go to the forest.
30 00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:50.760 Recharge your batteries to regain your energy.
31 00:01:51.820 --> 00:01:54.820 And it's even more important in the age of the internet.
32 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.360 I mean I find myself watching all these YouTube videos.
33 00:02:00.580 --> 00:02:03.980 And when I finished I don't even remember.
34 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:05.840 the first video so
35 00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:09.480 The question is, how can I learn from?
36 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:10.540 all...
37 00:02:11.140 --> 00:02:12.640 from all of this information
38 00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:16.020 It's no good for me. I can see that. (It's not good for my health.)
39 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.620 I'm not focused anymore. So..
40 00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:21.720 ...I want you to make aware of the importance of being...
41 00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:28.000 ...balanced and (not to be) rushing into things especially when it comes to learning languages.
42 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.820 I mean all these promises out there in the internet.
43 00:02:32.140 --> 00:02:35.740 learning English in 3 months or in 1 month or
44 00:02:36.420 --> 00:02:37.020 in a year
45 00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:41.020 Why do we need to learn in such a short period of time? (Better: in such a rush)
46 00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:42.520 cured of time
47 00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:44.920 normally it is not necessary so (under normal circumstances)
48 00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:47.160 I try to not.
49 00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:51.140 Get overwhelmed by charging too much pressure...
50 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:51.920 on myself. (Sorry, this sentence is probably useless - I'm stilly learning)
51 00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:54.740 If you are balanced you will also be able to..
52 00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:02.674 ...learn ...
122 Personal Storytelling - Tell your Story and Improve your English - with Fabio Cerpelloni from the Stolaroid Podcast
My Fluent Podcast
01/01/23 • 43 min
Personal storytelling can be used to improve language skills. Interview with Fabio Cerpelloni.
- On the previous episode 121, we learned from Lucia that we can learn through listening to other personal stories. "Everyone has a story to tell".
- On this episode (122) it's all about telling your own stories in order to improve in your target language.
- Even though Fabio Cerpelloni's personal language learning journey did not involve storytelling, he fell in love with telling stories from his own life and has even started to integrate it in his teachings. The book "Story Worthy" by Matthew Dicks inspired Fabio's podcast (Stolaroid Stories) and focus on personal storytelling. Best stories are about failure and can impact others.
- Fabio is currently writing a book about his personal journey of learning English and how to learn the language in an organic way. We hope that we can have him on My Fluent Podcast for a second round so that we can learn more about his inspiring journey. Thank you Fabio!

1. Part of the Interview's transcript:
Hello.
I'm fine. Thank you very much. It's so nice having you here on my fluent podcast.
It's an honor. It's an honor. Thank you. Thank you for your invitation!
My name is Juan , I'm a Spanish. I am from a small city in the South of Spain called Granada.
I started to learn English when I was about 19 or 20, more or less or very late when I was about 29 or something like that, that I decided to come to England to London to prove my English because , as in your situation, I didn't have anybody to talk to. I was reading on, um, watching movies? So I decided one summer, OK I went to the UK to London for three months. I was sure that in three months my English would be very, very good. I will become fluent bilingual and every time I have many, many high expactations, um, and then I came here and after three months I realized it wasn't enough. So I decided to stay for another three months and then another three months like that, you know, because I was never happy with my English. So, um, eventually I found here friends, I made friends, I found a job, so I stayed here and I've been here for 23 years now. My English is still not good enough. So I have, uh, I have to stay there.
And you were a Professor at the university is that right?
I studied psychology in Spain. , when I came here, , I wanted to work as a psychologist maybe, but my English wasn't good enough to do that. So, I decided to become a language teacher. I could teach, I could teach French and Spanish in the schools and then I did different things always related to languages until I found a job at the university at university college, London, which is a very good place, very prestigious university.
And I've been teaching there for maybe 15 years. Until last year, last year, I quit my job and now I'm working full time on the internet. I have a podcast and a youtube channel. It has been a long trip. Yeah.
So when did you start exactly with your podcast?
I think I started like seriously in 2017 I have been doing other things before similar, but it wasn't really a podcast because, um, I mean, , I'm not, very young now, so, uh, I didn't know how podcasts or Youtube work. I have. I have to learn how to use them. I had to learn how, you know, how to use them forlanguages to teach languages. So at the beginning I was doing like, it wasn't a podcast it was more like audio activities. You know, I was working out in university, so I wanted to create a listening practice for my students. So I created some short dialogues , or I interviewed some of my colleagues, taught university in Spanish. I was creating, like listening activities for my students basically for a couple of years. Then in 2017, I did a little bit of research and I discovered that I could do other things. Uh, So I started with the podcast yes. Three years ago. Yeah.
So was there anybody or anything that inspired you. To do the podcast or was there any idols or Do you like listening to other podcasts? Maybe Yeah
Well, I remember that he was listening to this podcast maybe, you know, a coffee break, coffee break, English, Spanish coffee break, French. They have different languages. You know it?
Yes. I know. I know it. I have listened to it, but it has been quite a while.
Yeah. I don't, I don't listen to it anymore, but I remember that, I liked the, you know, the, the boys of the, of the guy who was doing it and, uh, he was, I liked the atmosphere, you know , they, they create, , yeah. in the podcast Because I thought I could do something similar.
I didn't like the fact that it was everything in English, because for example, when they are teaching in French or German, they speak in English most of the time. So because. I didn't like that. I liked the atmosphere. The guy is it comes across very nice, you know, very closely. Um, I was trying to learn German for a while.
I was, I was listening to them until I realized that most of the time was , They were talking in English. I understand why they do. I understand why they do it, but no, they didn't work for me.
And speaking about atmosphere, I must say when I came across your podcast for the very first time. I was so impressed because yeah.
I remember, I think you were washing your, you, you were, , doing the ,...
