I'm interviewing Jennifer from JForrestEnglish on the show today. Jennifer shares how her own experience as a "failed language learner" inspired her to begin teaching English and helping others improve their listening skills, confidence and mindset.

I enjoyed this talk with Jennifer, and I hope you will too!
