It's a very integrated approach so that there are no gaps in your learning process.

Exactly.

Right.

The goal is to be firing on all cylinders.

That is the fun idiom we want to share.

This means performing at the highest level, working as efficiently as possible.

If you're not wasting time, you're spending your time in the right ways.

We use this fun idiom to say you're firing on all cylinders.

Exactly.

Yeah.

And then we are fired.

Because if you're not, right, this alludes to any kind of engine, a car, a jet engine.

If you're not firing on all cylinders, you're not using all of your engines, you're not using all of your power.

That happens a lot to us with language learning or with training for an Ironman.

If we're not doing it the right way, we are missing out.

We're not setting ourselves up for success.

A student actually told me that this week in Open Conversation Club, they had listened to our podcast for years and they felt like their listening comprehension had improved so much.

They were able to understand so much more than they used to.

But speaking wasn't getting there.

Like there were these gaps and then they signed up for one of our courses and they were able to improve there as well.
