“Wow, what a fantastic resource for the aspiring (and experienced) language learners out there. Perfect episode length, well thought out content, but most important of all, carefully considered, balanced responses that genuinely can help people adopt the best mindset towards learning a language. If you've thought about learning a language but were put off by bad experiences at school then this podcast will help you understand that the world of language learning is a rich exciting and fun place to be.

Do you think that conversational writing is something that will assist people who don't have 2-3 hours weekly to get on to Skype? Can it help push towards a higher level of fluency?
