Summary

In this episode, I converse with Miriam, a former student and friend, about her experiences learning Egyptian Arabic and her travels in the Middle East. We discuss the cultural perspectives gained from living abroad, the importance of curiosity in personal growth, and Miriam's journey to Egypt and Palestine. The conversation highlights the significance of understanding different cultures and the transformative power of travel.
