The Alone With English Podcast
It’s not another English teaching podcast.
It’s the help we built for you,
because almost everyone we’ve worked with needed to hear this.
What this is
The Alone With English Podcast is a conversation between two English coaches — Ruth Pringle and Jennie Reed.
We don’t try to teach you ‘more English‘.
We help you feel better in it.
About the series
This is a short, limited podcast series.
Six episodes.
Each one focuses on a different part of the English learning experience —
from confidence and motivation to goals, habits, and finding your way back in.
You don’t need to listen in order.
You can listen over time.
Who this is for
This is for people who can understand English — but don’t feel good using it.
You’ve learned before.
You might still be learning now.
But something hasn’t clicked.
Or something has slipped.
You might feel:
-
behind
-
disconnected
-
or just tired of doing it in a way that doesn’t work for you
This isn’t for beginners.
It’s for people who are already on the journey —
but need a different kind of support to continue.
How is this different?
Most English podcasts teach the language.
This one supports the person learning it.
We’re not giving you more content to carry.
We’re helping you make sense of what’s already there.
You’ll hear:
-
two coaches talking things through
-
different perspectives, not one “right” way
-
ideas you can recognise yourself in
No pressure to keep up.
No expectation to perform.
A conversation waiting for you
We know free time is in short supply.
This is a conversation waiting for you to join —
something you can carry with you, like having friends in your pocket.
You can listen on your preferred podcast platform.

If you want to go further

This work comes from two different areas of expertise:
-
Ruth Pringle focuses on real-world English and lived experience
-
Jennie Reed focuses on pronunciation and spoken confidence

You don’t need to decide the whole future of your English right now —
but if you know your next step, you can take it.
