All Ears English, 61- When People Tell You Your English Stinks, Here’s What to Do

61- When People Tell You Your English Stinks, Here's What to Do

Lindsay: This is an All Ears English Podcast, Episode 61: Deep Thoughts Thursday “When People Tell You Your English Sucks, Here's What to Do.” [Instrumental]

Gabby: Welcome to the All Ears English Podcast, where you'll finally get real, native English conversation. Now here are your hosts, Lindsay McMahon, the ‘English Adventurer' and Gabby Wallace, the ‘Language Angel,' coming to you from Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

In this episode, you'll learn how to make negative comments your motivator to improve your English.

[Instrumental]

Lindsay: Hey Gabby. Good evening. How's everything?

Gabby: Hey. Hey Lindsay. Good. How are you doing?

Lindsay: I'm doing good (well). I'm feeling great. Here we are for Episode 61.Cool. Yeah, so we have a great quote for you guys, to inspire you. It's from Frank Sinatra and he says “The best revenge is massive success.” Lindsay:

Massive. What does massive mean?

Gabby:

Huge. Big. Tremendous. Incredible.

Lindsay:

Yeah.

So has anyone ever told you that your English isn't good?

Gabby:

(Um) actually yeah.

Lindsay:

It's happened to you?

Gabby:

It's happened to me. It's happened (um) in other languages, (you know), where (like) I thought I was completely fluent in Spanish and then someone asked me (like) (um) “Do you speak Spanish?” Lindsay:

Really.

Gabby:

Because they didn't think I was doing a very good job.

Lindsay:

Oh my god. That's so rude.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

I can't believe they said that to you.

Gabby:

Well, and that, that's where this quote and, and this idea of, (you know), people telling you your English sucks come together because I think the best way to deal with that when people tell you ‘You can't speak English,” is to get back at them, to have revenge, by really improving your language skills. What do you think Lindsay?

Lindsay:

Yeah, I really find – that when someone tells me I can't do something, I find that it's a huge motivator. For example, (you know), (I mean), I want to have my own business. I want to, (you know), have a great, thriving business and be able to travel.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

Some people might say, “You can't do that.” Right.

Lindsay:

“You need to work a 9 to 5 job.”

Gabby:

Yes.

Lindsay:

“You need to be in the office.” That's – there's nothing more motivating to me… Gabby:

Absolutely.

Lindsay:

…than to have someone say that because I'm going to go and prove them wrong.

Gabby;

That's right. Those naysayers. Right.

Lindsay:

Exactly.

Gabby:

People who say “No you can't do that” is a “naysayer” and the best revenge is just to prove them wrong.

Lindsay:

(Yep), and, and understand that their comment to you is more about them than it is about you… Gabby:

Right.

Lindsay:

…about the insecurities that they feel about themselves or disappointments that they haven't accomplished their own goals.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

So don't forget it's really about them.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Great. I really love this quote and I want you guys to remember this. Next time someone puts (you) down or disparages or, (you know), tells you your English is not good, just remember, just, you don't have to respond to them, you don't have to say anything. You can just quietly remember “The best revenge is massive success.” Lindsay:

Thank you. That's awesome.
