Episode notes

People are obsessed maybe is the wrong word, but they're very keen on this idea of immersion English. So if you need to learn a language, you have to go there. That's the only way of doing it. Malta is kind of an attractive destination for that reason. It's also a little bit cheaper than London or New York or places like that. People who are non-EU citizens can come to Malta and then travel around and visit other European countries pretty affordably through rhinae flights. And kind of use Malta as a springboard for doing all that kind of stuff.

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!
