I first came across The Language Mastery Show back in 2019 when I went independent with my English teaching and I was looking for ways to improve not only the way I learned languages but the way I taught them as well. Since then, I've listened to many of the episodes, and I'd say they...Read full review »

One of my favorite podcasts. Pretty sure I’ve listened to every episode now. Only comment is that I really really enjoy long-form content, and the short-form content doesn’t really match up and usually ends up getting ignored. Other than that 5/5!!!!!

Having listened to at least half of the episodes, I firmly believe John is performing a very valuable service here for the language acquisition community. But there is room for improvement. I wish his main goal was to extract as many great stories and insights from his guests as possible. (Jared...Read full review »

The host seems very passionate about language learning, but tends to ramble sometimes. If you feel it coming on, you know where the fast forward button is, though. Very enjoyable nonetheless.

The Language Mastery podcast has a little bit of everything when it comes to language learning. John is an amazing host, and the conversations with his guests are a real delight!

Hearing all the ways people learn a new language is fascinating and inspiring. So many resources are out there that I never knew about and this show has its finger on the pulse of them all.

Great info. I’ve been able to apply many of the ideas from both the host and the guests to my language learning. I even discovered Katie Harris from joy of languages on this podcast and she has been my favorite way of learning Italian.

I am enjoying the choice of guests interviewed and their tips on language learning. I teach ESL and have completely changed my approach which is a lot more fun for my students as well as me.

The host John has a great way of communicating. He allows his guest to speak and elaborate and asks very informed questions. This is another go to podcast for hands on language learning advice. There is no fluff, there is limited advertising, it’s all about how to maximize language learning...Read full review »

I wish I had had this podcast to listen to when I was first learning Russian as an independent language learner! Come to think of it, I wish I had had this podcast when I was learning Spanish in high school and college so I would have learned that my methods were ineffective and I didn’t have to...Read full review »

Very well done. Wish there were more.

John's philosophy and approach are spot-on: You don't need to be gifted, spend tons of money, or move to another country to learn a language. You just need to be dedicated and consistent.

Check out this great podcast for language learners. Interviews with some of the top polyglots.

I just listened to my first episode and just loved it. I teach middle school Spanish and it was nice to listen to other language enthusiasts which helps keep my passion for languages alive.

Thank you for this great gift of resources to improve my Russian.

In depth conversations with polyglots and other lovers of language. I eagerly await the 2016 episodes to come!
ScarletTartlet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/16
I really love this podcast. I wish there were more resources like this. It is truly refreshing to hear people who know what they're talking about and are not just trying to sell something. I was teaching a Russian class when I stumbled on to this and I had my students listen to selected...Read full review »

I just binge-listened to the whole backlist of episodes. Gosh, this is an absorbing show.

When I am not studying a language, I listen to Language Mastery interviews. All the people that John interviews have been very inspiring and I am learning from some of the best polyglots in the world; I am now more motivated to keep on learning and keep on improving. Great job, John!
