The Toils Of Learning Another Language | Are You Confident Pulling The Lever?

What's the point of mastering another language if it doesn't even make me confident!? In Episode #416 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: why putting an ice cube in your bath water doesn't do much, Juan's love of cars and Formula 1, why my confidence is always kind of low, what we excel/suck at for language things and why it probably doesn't matter that we keep switching up our schedule. Hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world!
