I sit down in a Bangkok park and casually discuss some deep feelings on the idea of home, how this changes when you leave your country, and answer some more big questions.

If so, this is the episode for you.

AI has come up a few times on this podcast, but I haven't done a great job until now of discussing the drawbacks of using it. I'm not strongly pro or anti Artificial Intelligence, so it's only fair that I spend some time and talk about the ways in which we might want to question our relationship to it.

In this episode, I share the problem of outsourcing our thinking to AI, when you shouldn't use it, and also the downsides of using it for language learning.

I chat with Tom from the Thinking in English podcast about some ideas from his podcast. Like me, Tom has been publishing episodes for over 6 years, so we have a lot in common here.

We start by discussing the question of how to think in English (and whether this is actually a good goal), and then go into some debate topics inspired by some recent episodes on Tom's podcast.

Have you ever wondered how to improve your speaking, but you find it hard to get a teacher or language partner? In this episode, I explore on method I found recently that works really well for me, so you'll have no excuse not to practice!

I'm not saying this method can replace interaction with another person, but if you're looking to get more speaking practice in your week, this might just work for you. Let me know what you think!
