Linguists to interview

Get fluent right at home using my Anywhere Immersion Method (AIM). Learn more at LanguageMastery.com. Hi, I'm John Fotheringham, a linguist, teacher, and author who helps independent learners create at-home immersion environments that are ALMOST as good as living abroad. Living in Japan and Taiwan was an amazing experience (and definitely helped my Japanese and Mandarin skills), but the good news is that you don't need to hop on a plane to immerse yourself in a foreign language anymore. With modern online resources and tools, you can now build yourself a fun, effective immersion environment and get all the listening, speaking, reading, and writing practice you need. I show you how on my YouTube channel, in my podcast "The Language Mastery Show," in my weekly Mastery Monday newsletter, on my blog, and in my detailed immersion guides ("Master Japanese" and "Master Mandarin"). Happy learning!

Angel Pretot is a French learning coach and online entrepreneur. Through his coaching and courses, he helps English speakers learn French fast, become fluent and live their best, international life. After a master’s degree and 19 years of teaching and coaching French learners, he is still obsessed with improving the methods he uses. He loves seeing his students learn faster and better, and create wonderful lives for themselves. He now lives in Vienna, Austria, and he has been through all the expat struggles too. Besides that, he's an actual Frenchman who loves cheese, coming from a monolingual French family who’s still wondering what’s wrong with him, moving abroad, learning five languages to fluency and running an online business rather than just getting a job!
