My good friend Drew from the US of A is on the show today where he shares his thinking behind coming to Mexico in 2019 and the language learning methods that got his Spanish to where it is today. In this episode, we get into his head and uncover gems of insight about our nostalgia for snacks, the illusion of safety, and language learning. There's so much to unpack that keeping it within an hour was simply not enough. For folks looking to improve their Spanish, Drew also shares all the different ways he stays on top of his Spanish. Join Drew at the language exchange event hosted by our good friends at Monte Gelato to find out what he meant by "¡A huevo!" and more.
