In this solo episode, Olly talks about why haircuts are a fantastic language learning tool.

In This Episode: * My recent haircut in Hong Kong * How haircuts help you level-up in your language learning: + Chitchat is mandatory + You'll never get spoken to as much anywhere else, or asked as many questions + There's no escape + You have to actively engage in the conversation and reply to questions + You're sitting there for extensive periods of time + You have to push through pain barriers and tiredness + You get stronger at socialising, which can have big knock-on effects on confidence etc * The broader lesson is to put yourself in situations where the language is not the focus of the activity, so you're not being judged * What other activities can you do that lead you to use the language in a more social way?
