Episode notes

Malta is so international, you're going to fall in with people who are from your country. You suddenly realize that even though you might be going to class for three hours a day, everything outside of that time you're spent speaking French or Spanish and Italian. In Naples, basically no one speaks English, they were no foreigners at all. That was a six month existence purely in Italian. And yeah, the difference was marked in terms of my own improvement.

Is that a confusing title? Hopefully not. As you might expect, it's a little summary of what's included in the episode. To give you some more details, Alastair Budge is the host of a podcast called "English Learning for Curious Minds" and he has created a new audio drama for English learners called "Pioneers of the Continuum". It's a time-travel adventure for English learners, and Alastair asked me to be the narrator for episode 1. In this episode of LEP, we talk about Alastair's story, living in Malta, learning English by immersion, cliches and complaints from English speakers visiting Paris and Alastair's story about playing the bagpipes on the streets of Paris. The audio version includes 30+mins of rambling from me at the end. Enjoy!
