Episode notes

I was studying Italian already at university. So I did, I could speak to a reasonable extent. Naples is a very strange place compared to the rest of Italy. And some people kind of slipping into dialects when they'd be talking with friends and stuff. But just simply being in the country doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to learn the language really well. You have to do ... You have to be mixing with people who actually speak the language... It depends on how you do it. There's good immersions and bad Immersions.

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!
