S3 Ep4: Beginner’s luck - English Vocabulary about Luck

Author: Everest Language School June 2, 2021 Duration: 11:15
In this episode we will talk about what it means to be a beginner at something. We will explore whether beginner’s luck is a real phenomenon and hear about what benefits there might be to starting to learn a new language late in life. We’ll also listen to the amazing story of Ireland’s footballing success (yes, it happened!) and the Green Army of fans it inspired.
