#77 - The Conformity of Silence

Real English Radio

In today’s episode, I’ll be reading a brilliant article about one of the easiest and most effective ways to become a better communicator (in any language). The author, Bryan Caplan, is a Professor of Economics at George Mason University, and a New York Times Bestselling author. You can check out his work at https://substack.com/@betonit. No matter what your first language is, and no matter what your current level of English is, I can guarantee that you or someone you know will identify with the scenario that Bryan lays out in this article.
