29. Challenges

29. Challenges

Author: Hadar Shemesh April 7, 2020 Duration: 35:58

This is a personal episode where I talk about the things I've learned from the Loud and Proud 5-day fluency challenge, I reflect on the challenges the participants went through and share my own personal challenges as I was working on this project.

This podcast episode was recorded in the midst of the Corona crisis that is happening now around the world, and exactly two weeks after we had completed the Loud and Proud challenge.
So the title 'challenges' seems rather appropriate.
