Summary
Martin Aaron is an old friend of mine from the days when I taught English in London. In this episode we chat about being an English teacher, travelling to different countries, the status of English in other places, how native English speakers (don't) learn languages, stories of learning French in school, and Martin's memories of boarding school.

| 0:25.6 | parents garden recording the intro to this episode. I'm just staying with my parents for a few days, |
| 0:32.1 | helping them out in the garden and stuff like that the sun |
| 0:34.6 | is actually shining in England in summer yes it does actually happen the sky is |
| 0:40.6 | not exactly blue everywhere there's still some cloud cloud, but it's lovely. It's lovely to be out here in the garden. |
| 0:46.0 | So anyway, let me tell you about this episode that you're about to hear, this one which I recorded a few weeks ago while I was still in in France. |
