You Will Never Finish A 2nd Language | Text Vs Audio Communication Which Is More Useful?

How do you say in a foreign language 'sorry I ruined your birthday cake' eeeep.

In Episode #345 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: why I yeeted my friends cake all over myself and my car, how Juan changed up his reading style of Ryan Holiday's 'Stillness Is The Key' to finish his monthly goals, why learning another language is so humbling, aspects of Duolingo that help/hinder our learning process, Juan's increased running volume and how my preference for audio over text manifests itself in reality.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
