TQ 066 Arek from Poland

Arek and his teenage son Adam are staying with me two nights as they travel from Hanoi to Hong Kong. Arek lives in Warsaw, Poland and loves cycling and running. He is also very interested in minimalism and has been interviewed by Polish TV stations and newspapers about it. Listen as we talk about ultrarunning, an interesting place in northern India and how he learned English using TV shows and computer games.

Arek has a strong Polish accent, so it might be challenging for some of you to understand him. He has a good vocabulary. Here are some words that we use that you may not know: godfather, expedition, patchwork, pluses and minuses, tactic, picky, ultrarunning, triathlon, amateur, gap, trail running, hallucination, Buddhist, foothills of the Himalayas, altitude, chilly, minimalism, to minimize, blog, the media, domino, sweater, to envy.
