EwK175 - Gabriel Clark - practical tips for language learners

This is an interview with Gabriel Clark, a blogger, podcaster, and language teachers. Gabriel is also a language learners, so he's able to give some practical tips that have worked for him.

I split our conversation into two parts because it became fairly long. In the first part of the interview we talk about:

How speaking another language reduces barriers when you're living or working in another country

* How speaking your students' language can help you as a teacher

* How being a language learner can help you as a teacher, as long as you don't project your own learning style all of the time

* How it can be good for your language skills to speak with people who don't speak your first language

* 3 tips that helped Gabriel with his language learning.
