The 'English After Hours' Podcast

This week's guest is Stefan Skrabs.  Often funny yet always insightful, Stefan gives us a glimpse into his life as an electrical engineer turned salesman and explains why he couldn’t sell you something like a car or a washing machine, but when it’s something complex and difficult, he really shines. 

Stefan offers tonnes of valuable information to anybody learning a language.  We hear about how Stefan taught himself Spanish and French through necessity, and how a colleague’s one piece of advice helped Stefan make real steps towards speaking foreign languages.
