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
Hit Replay: The Power of Stories | Book Talk
Ever wish you could redo an English conversation, say things differently, or finally remember that perfect word for your advanced English class? I know I do!
Life might not allow for a reset button, but what if it did? For years, I dismissed video games as a waste of time, until I read Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. This novel changed my perspective, showing me how video games can be rich stories, and offer do-overs when real life can’t.
For your English listening practice this week, we’ll explore this novel and its themes of friendship, creativity, and the power of stories in books and video games. I’ll also touch on how English language learning is a form of play, where we should risk making mistakes in English.
And if you want to practice writing in English, you can tune in for tips on how to write a book review.
Ready to rethink your ideas about video games and storytelling?

Life lessons with agnes rubinho | Intermediate English Conversations
Life lessons with Agnes Rubinho: We have to be less afraid of judgment and more open to learning.
🎙️ This is it: episode 50 of Hear You Go podcast—We have to be less afraid of judgment and more open to learning.
❣️Episode 50 marks the end of Season 2, and to close this fabulous year of podcasts, this episode offers you an amazing conversation with a Brazilian teacher, Agnes Rubinho.
Teachers: did you know Agnes has written a book for freelance teachers? You’ll hear us discuss a few things from her book, and afterward, I know you will want to buy it. I did! It’s full of information I wish I’d known when I was first branching out to become a freelance, independent teacher.
You’re not a teacher? Don’t worry because this episode will give you tips on what to look for in a teacher, and the benefits you get when you click with the right teacher for you.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ What’s more, the episode provides a good lesson in word stress and intonation.
🎧 Listen to the way Agnes pauses and adds emphasis to the words she wants you to hold on to. She has a manner of speaking that draws you in and keeps you hooked.
🙌 That’s what good speaking is all about: engagement and connection.
So, that’s your assignment: listen for all this delicious, engaging, messy and wonderfully spontaneous messy English that both Agnes and I offer you in our chat.

Do podcasts help you learn English? | English Listening Practice
Why bother?
I don’t often ask myself that question, but every once in a while, it crops up. Why bother making a podcast if I don’t get a thousand downloads?
In today’s English listening episode, number 49 🙌, I remind you of the value of listening to podcasts for English language development, in addition to their psychological and social benefits. For example:
learning new pronunciation, expressions and advanced English vocabulary
getting exposure to different English accents and "messy" English
improving active listening skills
sharing personal stories that build connection
fostering our imagination
bolstering our cognitive abilities
While Hear You Go will never be the most famous podcast in the world (and that’s OK!), it's my way of offering you authenticity, interesting topics, and this year, it was a vehicle to highlight and elevate the voices and work of women in the English language teaching community.
As season two starts to wrap up, I encourage you to reflect on the topics shared and my wonderful guests who offered tips and guidance, and moving stories about their love of learning English.
