Israel's passion and experience as a polyglot shines through, and whether you're a beginner or an advanced language learner, you're sure to find some useful tips and inspiration in this episode.

During this week's episode, Clayton is joined by me! The person writing this description right now.
I honestly don't know what to write about myself here, but I also realized that not that many people read the description of a podcast. So I'm not writing ANYTHING.
Anyway, I had a fun chat with Clayton and then edited it immediately after. The funniest part of the whole editing process is seeing his outtakes for the intro and outro 😂.

This week, the Podcast Crew is joined by one of Refold's co-founders, Ethan!
They're discussing the interesting topic of "whether it's possible to internalize your target language". This is different from "sounding like a native speaker" and is much more about the feeling of the language inside you as a speaker. This description doesn't make a lot of sense, so you should listen to the episode to hear their thoughts!
