”This is really about your journey” with Dan Hay | Intermediate English Conversations

Hear You Go

Hello everyone!

Today, I'm offering you something a little bit different. Here's an intermediate English conversation for you where you'll work hard at your listening practice.

My first guest is Dan Hay, the sound engineer and producer of the Hear You Go podcast.

Dan is an accomplished musician who plays in the band Amos the Transparent, the band responsible for the soundtrack to the podcast, a song called Change my Mind.

Dan is also a music teacher who owns his own music school called The Spark Music Academy He teaches at a local elementary school as well.

You'll hear us talk about:

• how we make the podcast
• music
• our approach to teaching
• how to motivate students
• how teachers stay energized

I hope you will hear the excitement we have about teaching and learning. Like Dan, I believe that learning English is your journey: I'm here to help you speak English the way you dream of speaking it, but you are the leading the way, not me. It's a partnership.

P.S. You might also hear my nephew bouncing a ball, and that's life! Some things just can't be (or shouldn't be) edited out :)

If you need someone to help you produce your music, or a podcast, or if you are a teacher making recordings for a course, reach out to Dan at The Spark Academy
