Julian Northbrook is an unconventional punk of the business English learning world. A leading expert in English education and entrepreneurship, he’s fully equipped to drag you kicking and screaming from English-mediocracy to speaking at an outstanding level. After being turned down for his dream job in the art industry, Julian suffered three long years as a crap Japanese speaker. He understands exactly what it’s like to feel like a total idiot every time you speak. But Julian overcame his language problems, mastered the language, and went on to work first as a freelance translator, then as an executive member of a Japanese company. But he soon grew sick of the corporate world and left to do something more satisfying - teaching people how to ...more

Two things: first, I'm updating all my existing books and recording new audio-versions (which will be available via an app). Second, starting later this year I'll be publishing a series of books less about learning English per-se, but about travel, culture, business and everything related to using English to do exciting stuff.(less)

30 Minutes that defined the future of Canada

Two things that fascinate me:

History.

And the 80/20 principle.

Not the only two things, to be sure. But they’re high on the list.

At the beginning of 2017, I was in Ottawa, Canada and I went to visit to the Canadian War Museum. I'll confess that I knew almost nothing about Canadian history. But one part of the "Early wars in Canada" exhibition caught my eye: "The Battle of the Plains of Abraham".

Quotes by Julian Northbrook  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You can't change or influence other people to any great degree. You can help educate them, but if you've got somebody who's being a real dickhead, then you're wasting your time trying to change them. All you can do is  change your reactions to them  and change the way you process what's happening inside of you. Because they can't hurt you without your permission. You've always got to remember that. People don't do things to you. Somebody doesn't make you feel bad. You choose to feel”
Julian Northbrook, Unchain Your English: How to Eliminate Your Thinking Errors and Speak Better English, Right Now

“There is no quick, instant method to master English. It's always going to take dedication and hard work. But there is one thing you can do right now to begin improving faster – fix the way you think.

My friend Hitomi Horiguchi (a life-coach I know in Tokyo) very rightly says, "If you fix your thinking, then your actions will also change."

Very true words.”
Julian Northbrook, Master English FAST: An Uncommon Guide to Speaking Extraordinary English

“Yes. Accent is like a badge you wear to show you are part of a group. In that sense, it’s similar to slang in that it makes you part of that group. The "in" group, as it were. Or, depending on your position, it'll also mark you an outsider, too (I guess you could say the “out-group”).”

Julian Northbrook, Master English FAST: An Uncommon Guide to Speaking Extraordinary English

“People love to use their particular situation – living in Ohio, or Malaysia, or not having gone to an Ivy League school – to explain why they can’t get the same results others can. I used to engage and show them examples of people in their own area who got amazing results. Their response? “Well, did they have [increasingly obscure criteria: moved around three times as a kid, eleven fingers, whatever]?”
