E6 Learning and losing a language (with Laura) - Intermediate English Podcast

English and Beyond: Intermediate to Advanced English Podcast

Welcome back to English and Beyond! In this episode, I'm fighting through a hoarse voice to bring you a special treat - my dear friend Laura joins me to reminisce about our studious adventures in Beijing, where we bonded over glamorous students taking selfies, tricky Mandarin ideograms, and more. We discuss the joys and pitfalls of language learning, revealing how Laura ended up pestering a guy named Christ for spreadsheets and how my first Spanish teacher's infectious enthusiasm got me hooked on the language. Join us for a light-hearted yet hopefully helpful conversation that spans continents, cultures, and a few embarrassing miscommunications. Tune in, have a laugh, and maybe learn a thing or two about the bittersweet journey of mastering—and forgetting—languages!
