English Podcast for Easy English Conversation | I Almost Quit Today | Learn English Fast | EP 06

Welcome back to Learn English With Mike. Today’s episode is more personal than usual: “I Almost Quit Today—Here’s Why I Didn’t.” Mike shares a real moment from this morning when everything piled up—technical problems, a harsh comment, a long to-do list—and quitting felt like the easiest option. Together, Mike and Sarah talk honestly about overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and that heavy feeling of “What’s the point?” Then they share practical ways to step back, reset your mind, and keep going—especially when you hit a language learning plateau and progress feels invisible. This episode is for you if you’re learning English and you’ve ever thought: I’m trying so hard… why am I not improving faster?
