SLV | Episode 24 | Moving cities; Drinking coffee; and What is ESL?

In Episode 24 of the Language Vlog Podcast, we look at change and exploring what drives people to move jobs, cities, or even countries, especially as expats. The episode reflects on the challenges of transitioning to new environments and discusses thought-provoking questions like "What if?" and "How would I do it?"

We also review the 2024 Beijing Cafe Show, showcasing China's growing coffee industry and its global connections. 

Additionally, the episode introduces the world of teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), emphasizing the value of CELTA certification and the growing opportunities in online teaching. 

Wrapping up, we also discuss the free Chinese Course by Email, designed for busy learners seeking a quick, impactful introduction to Mandarin.
