- Context notes for the Spanish conversation segment:
We begin by talking about things that were easy for us to learn, then discuss other things that were hard for us to do at first, that we didn’t believe we’d ever do well, but with persistence we managed to get really good at in the end - Can you hear what these were?
Finally, we encourage you to look at other things in your life that you do really well, or have had trouble with in the past and then were able to do well.
(We summarise the important fluency concept at the end of the video in English).
