Podcast appearances and mentions of cara leopold

I've decided to catch up with Cara Leopold and talk to her about movies and how you can learn and teach English through them again. You should probably know that some of the questions I asked Cara in this episode were generated by Chat GPT.  The last time I talked to Cara about this topic was in episode 412.

In this episode, I'm talking with Cara Leopold about the temptation to quit her small business. She shares her thoughts on what gives her motivation when she's facing doubt. We talk about mindset and how self-coaching can help us identify our blind spots. We also discuss the value of promoting yourself and how to get more comfortable with promotion. Finally, Cara shares her revelations about what she wasn't doing in the past and how to own her mistakes. This process has helped her focus on what's important - helping her clients.   Leo Listening website

Cara Leopold is the creator of the Leo Listening Movie Club, a community where she helps film-loving non-native English speakers understand and discuss movies together so they can master conversational English. Find out more about the Movie Club at: https://leo-listening.com/movie-club/ Many people enjoy watching films (British English) or movies (American English), but find following the dialogues challenging. With Cara's support and with fellow members of the Movie Club, you work through guided activities to help you get the most out of your film/movie watching experience. In this podcast, I ask Cara what motivated her to set up the Movie Club and where she first got the idea from. We discuss the feedback she has had from members of the Club as to how useful they have found their participation in the online and offline sessions and activities. I ask Cara to detail some of the 30+ movies her members have watched to date and which ones have been the most popular and most controversial. So, if you are interested in movies, explore this podcast and then follow the links through to Cara's webpages and find out more about the Club.

Get ready for a special treat! In this episode, I talk with Cara Leopold, an English Teacher known as the Listening Expert. We covered a lot of topics, so this will be the first of two episodes with our conversation. The main theme of our conversation was building great listening skills in another language. In this first episode, we talk about the importance of listening when learning another language, including pronunciation, and what to do when you don't understand your colleagues in meetings.  Here are some gems from this episode:“People might think, “I spend most of my time speaking.” But listening is actually the skill that dominates. So by that logic, the foundation for also learning future languages should be listening.”“So what's really helped me to get fluent in French is observing what people say, understanding them, and then copying them.”“Notice the expressions that people keep using and then use them. You will sound more authentic because you'll be using what the people around you actually say, as opposed to what you read in a book or what you got out of a list of 100 idioms.”Tune in to get more valuable insights from Cara, so you'll understand more of what people say around you! The second part of our conversation will be released in the next episode. Read the transcript here. Join the Express to Impress community on LinkedIn.Please take a minute to rate and review the podcast.Original theme music by Lucas Knutter

In this episode, I'm joined by Cara Leopold from Leo Listening. Cara is an online English listening skills coach, and movie fan who helps adventurous expats and intrepid travellers harness their love of movies to understand authentic English, so they can connect with the cultures behind the films and other movie lovers around the world. Cara has an amazing community called 'Movie Club'. 'Movie Club' is a community for movie lovers who want to understand authentic spoken English and speak it too. You'll find new confidence in your listening, speaking and pronunciation skills because you'll use short, regular activities that work to help you improve. And you'll have a native speaker (Cara) watching alongside you to offer a quick explanation…or a little feedback when you need it. She is a language learner herself as she's from Scotland but speaks fluent French, so you'll hear us talk about: understanding fast speech living abroad the importance of noticing language and active listening what's wrong with the way listening skills are taught watching movies in another language English accents and the sexiest English accent in the world She also shared her own story about a photo of a dinner with her colleagues she took in Turkey (link below) Given that this is mainly an episode about listening skills, at the end of it I decided to focus on a little pronunciation feature I'd noticed in Cara's speech: the glottal stop. This is a type of consonant sound that might make native speakers of English hard to understand. You'll find a link to a YouTube video below if you want to explore this in more detail.

This week, my guest on the podcast is Cara Leopold, an English teacher who focuses on helping her students enjoy TV and films in English by improving their listening skills. Some of Cara's top tips: Don't mess around with TV and films initially. They're more challenging than many of us like to admit, and it can be disheartening even at B levels to miss big chunks of action because we insist on switching off the subtitles. Instead, stick to curated materials for learners Look for natural speech over scripted speech, actors with a naturalistic delivery who don't mumble in order to sound authentic Try podcasts and interviews, because they deliver natural speech and structured content. If a show comes out regularly and follows a strict formula with set segments, it's going to be easier to understand The biggest mistakes Cara sees language learners make is to treat tv and films like you would in your native language, expecting to kick back and relax for 2 hours. If it's passive consumption you are after, your listening skills will not improve - think quality over quantity. And here is a piece of Cara's philosophy that stood out to me: “Everything works in language learning." Step By Step to Subtitle Freedom Here are the steps Cara recommends so you can improve listening skills and hit that subtitle freedom: Get hold of a text, for example search youtube by subtitles Open the transcript below your YouTube video so you can read it as you move along Find trailers or selected clips of films and TV shows, or choose to watch a show or film in scenes Practice dictation Switch the subtitles on and off as required Repeat things as closely as possible to how the actor is saying them “You have to be able to settle for some imperfection." Special Guest: Cara Leopold.
