An early Halloween treat for 'ya. GrootSlang, a South African mythical creature snake with the head of an elephant and a deadly tale :). Today we look closer at a crazy story with some rather large twists and turns.... Okay, no more snake jokes!

I've been on a reading binge, and today, we're diving deep into the world of books and their powerful benefits for language learners! 📚

In this episode, we'll explore how you can use reading to boost your language skills, improve vocabulary, and enhance comprehension, plus a few surprising advantages you might not expect. Whether you're just starting your language-learning journey or are a seasoned polyglot, these tips and tools will help you get the most out of reading.

But that's not all—stick around for a fun twist as we dive into an unexpected conspiracy theory that might just blow your mind. 👀

So buckle up (but leave the "strap-on" at home unless you're into that 😉), and join us as we uncover the hidden powers of reading for both language learners and everyday book lovers alike.

Travelling abroad, or just googling pretty places you'd like to visit one day, I got you! I also talk a bit about my own travel disasters and how to avoid them

"Speak your best words peasant so that the sword may spare thy head !", that's not a real quote but I'm a real boy! Enough funny business, languages are essential and learning them helps us learn about new people and parts of the world and also helps us enlarge our perspective of this crazy world.

We've all been there, we've all said what we would do but what should you actually do when the do-do hits the metaphorical fan? Ugh! What a mess!
