An Italian native speaker and a Portuguese native speaker walk into a bar.

In today's episode, my guest is EU intrepreter and ELF expert Karin Reithofer. We discuss

Karin and I are both German native speakers, so we switched from English into German for a little bit to give you some listening practice as a learner.

If you are not a German learner, don't worry as we'll always switch back to English and I interpreted make sure you don't miss anything.

Here I always like to remember what the late Ron Gullekson from Language Surfer told me:

"in a new language, I like to get uncomfortable as early as possible."

So enjoy the challenge and enjoy the German practice!
