Beneficial and entertaining!

This podcast is so refreshing! Kristy and Carrie present information in a comprehensible (pun intended) manner that makes the listener feel cared for and understood. They bring their expertise into it all while encouraging the teacher in multiple ways. Their commentary is relatable. It is obvious that they have hearts of gold that only want to help the listener be the best that they can be.

Highly recommend

Our students really want to be able to communicate in another language. Carrie and Kristy discuss, share and offer ideas on how to do that - thru their own and others experiences as well as the research.

I am so excited about this podcast! I have been learning so much about CI through blogs, vlogs, and specific websites, but I am a podcast-aholic! I can’t wait to listen to your wisdom through podcasts!
