Why do adults and teenagers struggle so much with language learning… even after years of study? In this episode, we uncover a truth most schools never address: the system itself is flawed. From reversed learning sequences to limited exposure, many learners are set up to fail from the start. This conversation challenges the belief that age determines success and instead reveals how environment, methodology, and expectations shape outcomes. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or incapable of learning a language, this episode will reframe everything you thought you knew—and give you a new way forward.
