[00:00:00.000] - Oliver (Host)
Remember your first day at school? You had your new pencil case, your clean notebook, that nervous little smile, and that strange mix of excitement and fear that you might sit in the wrong chair or end up in the wrong classroom and embarrass yourself in front of everyone. Well, I remember that feeling very well because I had it again a few weeks ago at the tender and vulnerable age of 36 years old. Except this time, it wasn't primary school. It was Arabic class here in Valencia, Spain. So in this week's episode, I want to talk about what it's like to go back to the classroom to study a language like English as an adult, and I'll share some of the things I've learned so far along the way.
