For today's podcast episode I'm very happy to welcome Jimmy Mello to the podcast. Jimmy is the author of the Mello method and has been teaching languages in Brazil for over 20 years.
He comes on the show to talk about language teaching in general, but also to talk about situations where teaching might not be the best option. He also shares why and how he came up with his own method back in the day.
Can I ask you a favour?
Leaving reviews on iTunes really helps out the show, and I would be super stoked if you would take a minute or two to leave an honest review on there.
Jimmy Mello
Today I'm very happy to present my recent interview/talk with Brazilian polyglot Jimmy Mello. I've been following Jimmy for a while and I've been very interested to learn more about his Mello Method.
He's been teaching languages for over 20 years so he has a lot to bring to the table. In the episode we get into why somebody should consider going to language classes and why somebody shouldn't.
It's a great episode if you are interested in language classes with a lot of general language learning tips and tricks added to it.
