How do you go from speaking only Portuguese to mastering English, Spanish, and German — all while juggling work, university, and moving across countries? In this episode, we sit down with a Brazilian software engineer Elzo who built his own language learning system from scratch and used it to unlock new careers, friendships, and global opportunities. From his first English lesson at age 22 to working in Germany and navigating the workplace in a foreign tongue, he shares how “one hour a day” became a life-changing habit. We also dive into his methods, motivation, daily routine, and how language learning is more like physical training than academic study. If you’re a busy professional dreaming of becoming multilingual, this conversation is packed with real, practical insight and inspiration.

The guest: none this time…
