Hello dear Ponders,

Are you empathetic? Do people come to you for advice?

Empathy is the ability to understand the feelings of other people, so if you are, the answer is probably, “yes people do often come to me for advice”

Have you ever done something that you know was a bad idea? Have you ever NOT done something that deep down, you know was a good idea? If the answer is “yes” to either of those, then, you have experienced a feeling of regret.

Luckily, we’ll support you with that this week in our newest conversation and podcast episode! Learn about regrets and how to express them in English while having some fun with us. Enjoy!
