#312 Moving Across the World with Zdenek

Michael Lavers
About this episode

Today I'm doing a rare in-person discussion with Teacher Zdenek

Zdenek has more than 12 years of experience in various settings, primarily teaching English learners of levels B2-C2. He's taught English in the Czech Republic, UK, Ireland and most recently Vietnam.  

Zdenek has also moved to Vietnam, and that's why we were able to meet up nearby in Bangkok for a casual discussion. We speak about moving abroad, learning the local language, habit-building, teaching English, naughty tourists, and much more!

I hope you enjoy this one.
