Hear You Go
“First and foremost, I cannot express how deeply I am in love with your podcast. I generally looove a podcast as a format; I can say I am hooked on it. What do I like about yours? Well, everything. Your soothing voice - very pleasing to the ear, your ‘messy English’, topics you cover, to name but a few. And were I to describe you, using a couple of words, I would say that you radiate warmth and love. That would be my definition of you." — Dragana S., Serbia

I've just had the loveliest conversation with one of my students who has started listening to your podcast. She said it's the perfect combination of of interesting topics and useful language advice.
She also said she finds your voice very soothing. — Sarah Morgan, Meaningful English
Catherine's podcast is for more than learning a new language and new vocabulary, it helps build confidence and fluency through the exploration of spoken English and, yes, listening skills too!” — A fan :)
Just wanted to let you know that I've been catching up with your latest podcast episodes and they all have some sort of a soothing effect on me.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful and unique product for both English teachers and learners! — Another fan!
I really enjoyed listening to this episode! I follow Fernanda on Instagram and she inspires me so much. It was interesting to learn more about her journey in learning English. I can definitely say that after I got help from professionals, my understanding of the language has changed a lot..for better, of course. I used to study only with textbooks and I'd get bored easily.
However, I've learned that learning a new language involves much more than studying with books and the process doesn't have to be boring. Catherine, you have helped me tremendously! — Bruna Dell’Orto, Toronto
Go ahead, laugh | English LIstening
Charles Dickens wrote in A Christmas Carol that “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”
Lord Byron said of laughter: “Always laugh when you can, it is cheap medicine.”Pablo Neruda shared that: "Laughter is the language of the soul."
And Maya Angelou declared: “I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.”
Let's start 2024 with a dose of laughter, or at least an English listening episode that invites us all to find more laughter in our lives.
Laughter can help you speak English better - really!
We’re going to explore the science of laughter (that is, what happens in our bodies when we laugh), as well as the physical and psychological benefits of laughing, and conclude with why laughter is important when learning English, or really any language. I laugh a lot as I make mistake after mistake in French and Italian.
I just wanna get a good night’s sleep! | English Listening
Sleep. It seems so simple, and yet it's something many of us are struggling to get, or to get enough of.
In today’s English Listening episode of Hear You Go, we’re going to dig deeper into sleep and why so many of us seem to suffer from a lack of it. The topic is vast, so we won’t address everything.
For today, we’ll explore, as I often do, the science of what sleep is, why it’s important, and how much we need. Then we’ll look at common sleep problems and the dangers of not getting enough sleep, and finally, because we want solutions, I’ll share some recommendations that might allow those of us who are sleep-deprived to sleep a little easier and better.

Perfectionism is something a lot of English language learners and teachers suffer from.
But is it always a bad thing?

What should we do when being perfect is actually stopping us from making progress in English?

Doppelgängers and Danger | English Listening
I've been mulling over, pondering over, thinking about three different topics and how I could possibly bring them together in one English listening podcast episode.
This is my attempt to do so.
Today, you'll hear about the concept of a doppelgänger, a look-alike of sorts, followed by a short exploration of extreme sports and the motivations that drive athletes to do these dangerous sports. To conclude, we'll learn about one of these athletes, the ocean marathon swimmer, Diana Nyad.
How are all three of these connected? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out!
What does all this have to do with learning English?
Discipline! Courage! We could all use more of it.
Keep in mind that there's also a connection to E32 of Hear You Go: A conversation with Fernanda.
