Episode notes

French University was a slightly strange experience because it seemed to me more like school than university in the UK. We kind of, the university was disrupted quite a bit because there were strikes. So lots of strikes, not a huge amount of university because it was closed, but lots of fun. I mean, it's the, thanks to Brexit, Erasmus is not a possibility for people in the UK, which is sad. But if anyone is listening to this and has the opportunities to do his Erasmus placement, I would definitely recommend it because it's a lot of fun.

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!
