175. How To Deal With Unexpected Situati...

Anna Connelly, Anna Connelly.

About this episode

Join me this week as I share with you about a terrible morning I had recently and my reflections about dealing with things that we can't control and managing nerves when speaking another language. This was a spur of the moment episode. I really wanted to record something and therefore it may be a little faster than usual in some parts and more colloquial. It's brilliant conversational listening practice too because I'm speaking very naturally. Enjoy! Anna
