189 - Politics Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

Hellooooo! This week we’re talking about a topic that we don’t normally recommend for “small talk” situations, but it’s important nonetheless.

Politics!

We all have to deal with it in some way, we have opinions about it, and so you can learn a bit more what your hosts think about this topic.

Our language focus will help you change the subject when you don’t want to talk about something (like politics) or any other situation you find yourself in.

Enjoy!
