Episode notes

i was a german assistant, and i taughte pupils who were 14, 15 so at gcas e level. My job was to ask them questions which were on a long list of about three pages. They always had to answer the questions with three sentences, so they really learnet it by heart. Soifit wasn't really language learning, it was more preparing for the exam. And sir, that's what i found quite funny. But actually it's not really helpful. Yes, they could just get through the exam. It was just all right, let's take this box and get jumped through this hoop here"

714. Robin from Hamburg 🇩🇪 (WISBOLEP Runner-Up)

Talking to another runner-up from last year's listener competition. Robin from Hamburg had a big setback in his learning of English, but worked hard to overcome it. We talk about his English learning trajectory, and ramble about German language & culture, his podcast for learners of German, podcasting microphones and then Robin teaches me some German words which are difficult to pronounce.
