She will compound fact after fact, quote after quote. She’ll bring in news headlines, data, song lyrics, your past, all to fit her main goal of finding as many problems as possible that she can claim will prevent you learning your language.
We have to disrupt that spiral before we lose all hope in our language learning for today.

In this episode, I also talked about some characters I introduced in S1E43 on the Language Confidence Project, in an episode called "The inner townspeople need to have a meeting". If you haven't met them before, give that episode a listen!
