EwK175 - Gabriel Clark - practical tips for language learners

This is an interview with Gabriel Clark, a blogger, podcaster, and language teachers. Gabriel is also a language learners, so he's able to give some practical tips that have worked for him. I split our conversation into two parts because it became fairly long. In the first part of the interview we talk about: How speaking another language reduces barriers when you're living or working in another country * How speaking your students' language can help you as a teacher * How being a language learner can help you as a teacher, as long as you don't project your own learning style all of the time * How it can be good for your language skills to speak with people who don't speak your first language * 3 tips that helped Gabriel with his language learning.
