On Travel Memories, Music, Artificial In...

ETJ English
About this episode

What’s the earliest memory you can remember?

In this episode, I take you right back to the first moment I think I can possibly remember in Sydney Australia at about 7 years old... as well as a quite traumatic trip to the doctor because my mum lied to me… 

We’ll chat about those strange moments in life when we try to soak everything in, scared we might forget. I’ll share a few thoughts on music, a bit about AI (because, why not?), and reflect on what I’ve learned after 10 years of ETJ English, helping people from all over the world build confidence in their voice.

Just a relaxed chat today. Stick around if you fancy a bit of easy listening with a British accent you can trust.

And if you ever want my voice in your ear a little more seriously for pronunciation coaching, conversations and help with your British pronunciation / accent reduction with full WhatsApp support to help you master your British accent, come and say hi and send your accent evaluation to me at www.etjenglish.com.
