It's summer here in Europe and many people are thinking about holiday activities - which means a lot of the things that we usually do are put on hold.

This episode is one of a series of quick, implementable tips - things that you can do to work on your language skills without attending a class or working with the language.


Today I'm talking about why it's important for us to meet new people anyway, and how, as a language learner, in some ways it's easier to start conversations with people that we don't know. It could be to get some information that we need. It could be small talk - they don't know all the basic things about us that are easy to answer. And more importantly, we never know where conversations will lead - you might even find some new friends!

Plus - you don't have to be in a country where the language is spoken in order for this to work!

If you try this out, let me know how you get on! Be mindful of where you are and whom you're speaking with - if it doesn't feel good, move on!
