Episode notes

people in the UK I think just don't have that much experience with this. The idea that you might find someone and ask them a question and they might not speak perfect English is a little foreign perhaps to them strangely enough even when they go to Paris, Madrid or other places. For lots of Brits and I'm sure Americans are strange other non-native other native speakers of English they don't just don't understand how language can be adjusted. There's probably a lot of crowd control issues in classrooms in the UK in a language class.

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!
