You Can Learn Chinese

Shownotes Transcript

Elijah Wilcott never thought he was cut out for learning languages. With a self-proclaimed terrible memory and a history of struggling in language classes, he picked up only a handful of basic phrases after teaching English in China for two years. But when he found a compelling reason to learn Chinese, Elijah dove into full-time language study, and adopted a relentless approach to learning, immersing himself in every learning tool he could find. His persistence paid off, turning his language struggles into a powerful success story. Tune in to hear how Elijah discovered his purpose, pushed past his limitations, and ultimately transformed his life through learning Chinese. His story is a testament to the power of finding your "why" and never giving up.
