This podcast episode is part 2 of a two part interview on language learning with Olly Richards. 


If you haven’t listened to part 1 of the interview then go back and start with part 1 first.


In this second part of the interview we cover: 



  • What Olly used to keep himself going in Japan for 3 years when he was struggling to learn the language.

  • What you can do to cultivate the same source of motivation that Olly used.

  • How you don’t need a high level of your target language to have fun and experience what it’s like to have enjoyable conversations.

  • Finding exchanges partners and asking the critical question—how many do you need to try before you find the right one.

  • We talk about who Olly looks up to as a mentor for inspiration and motivation.

  • I ask Olly if he has ever used language learning to get himself out of trouble.

  • I also ask what opportunities has has had as a result of language learning.

  • We talk about his blog, his podcast and his latest training course.

  • I ask Olly what his life would look like without language learning in to.

  • What is next for Olly? What other languages does he want to learn and where would he like to live next.
