Episode notes

In my best day I probably made 100 euros on the streets of Lille playing bagpipes. It's a pretty decent amount of money to be making every day um but yeah it was a kind of a magical experience this idea that I had this this skill and you could just go and do it for a little bit open up a case and people would support youYeah great I'm gonna you said you're not a great bagpipes player but you're certainly better than me because I've never done it how do you actually play the bagpipes? You start learning on a little thing called a chanter which is essentially like a recorder so the kind of kind of the long straight

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!
