The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr is a brand new comedy podcast where each week a different celebrity guest pitches an idea for a film based on one of the SUPER niche sub-genres on Netflix. From ‘Steamy Crime Movies from the 1970s’ to ‘Australian Dysfunctional Family Comedies Starring A Strong Female Lead’, our celebrity guests will pitch their wacky plot, their dream cast, the marketing stunts, and everything in between. By the end of every episode, Jimmy Carr, Comedian by night / “Netflix Executive” by day, will decide whether the pitch is greenlit or condemned to development hell!

The Rule of 100 has been a game-changer in my personal and professional life. I would highly recommend using it for language learning purposes too. I learned it from Alex Hormozi. Want to take lessons with a tutor on my team? Visit my website!
It's not as complicated of a problem as others that exist nowadays that humans are working to solve. Guaranteeing fluency should, indeed, be possible. Want to take lessons with a tutor on my team? Visit my website!
I don't think I've ever talked about this before. It's a secret, don't tell anyone else. Want to take lessons with a tutor on my team? Visit my website!
I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I'm wondering if one of the main reasons people struggle to reach fluency is that they aren't clear on what the main obstacles are and actually how to overcome them. Want to take lessons with a tutor on my team? Visit my website!
A simple behind-the-scenes look at the Calgary Language Nerds. Here's what we have been working on lately. Want to take lessons with a tutor on my team? Visit my website!
Often it's a better idea to ask yourself what the "worst" way to do something is. It's frequently easier to identify that. Avoiding pitfalls is often enough to make it to the finish line. Want to take lessons with a tutor on my team? Visit my website!
This might just be the #1 most important thing to do if you want to become fluent in another language. Want to work toward fluency yourself? Visit my website! https://azrenthelanguagenerd.com
It worked for me, maybe it will for you too. It's at least worth considering! To learn a language with me, visit my website .
Real talk: I was disappointed in myself. In 2023, I realized that students at the Calgary Language Nerds progressed slowly. I also noticed that most people didn't take many lessons. I think the average used to be something like 16 hours of class per person...in the course of a year. Considering that the vast majority of learners at the time didn't do much self-study or homework (if any), 16 hours is quite simply not enough. For the first time since then, I'm proud of the work we're doing. Far more students really are getting better. We can measure their progress. The best part is that it looks like we really are on the pathway to being able to guarantee fluency for those who take lessons. Can't wait to keep building!

Enjoy the episode!
This was a novel thought that came to mind today. Language learning really does make me braver - and I think it can do that for other people too. Want me to teach you a language? Visit my website! https://azrenthelanguagenerd.com
