AEE 279 Part 1: Listen to a Real, Spontaneous First-time Meeting in English
Are you looking for an authentic English conversation?
Today, listen to Part 1 of a real, authentic example of two people using English to get to know each other!
In Part 1 of this episode, Lindsay meets Mo. Mo is from New Zealand but has lived all over the world. He currently lives in Germany and teaches English. The two of them talk about this, and about learning a language and living in a different culture.
Some of the discussion points in Part 1:
- Why do people want to learn English?
- How can they be relaxed enough to learn it?
- Is it okay to accept that you’ll never be a native speaker?
