Welcome to the Thinking Out Loud - a show with meaningful conversations in English with non-native speakers. We are Jedrek and Masha, two English teachers recording this podcast between France and Ukraine. Each Wednesday we give you a brain-teasing conversation as we confront each other or our guests with questions they are totally not prepared for. Expect a great deal of thinking out loud, a lot of fun and some clever conclusions.

Thinking Out Loud 099: Do Cities Have Souls?
Hi Thinkers!
This week we're considering whether cities have souls and what does that actually mean? What makes up the soul of a place? Why excessive migration and tourism kill the character of a city? Aside from that there is a small talk about the secrets of cycling and the age-old question about the difference between teaching online and offline. Thanks for listening!

Thinking Out Loud 097: Sexy Barcelona Girls
Hi Thinkers!
Hi Thinkers!
This week Jedrek and Masha dive into a deep analysis of the sexy girls strolling the streets of Barcelona. All this in the context of another Innovate ELT conference where Jedrek gave a plenary speech titled "ELT and the epidemic of solitude". Don't get fooled by the title, this is another MEANINGFUL conversation (we hope) 😅
A highly entertaining conversation that is for sure.

Thinking Out Loud 096: Everybody Like Americans
Hi Thinkers!
This week it's just the two of us, your hosts, and our conversation revolves around education. We are talking about the future of education, which is also the theme of our newsletter this week. With linguistic barriers largely destroyed by technology, there will be only intrinsic motivation left for learning languages. How will this impact education? We mention the lastest book by Ethan Mollic "Co-Intelligence" We mention the reform of the French education system about to take place in France, where students are going to be segregated into good and bad groups. Will this be effective? Why are schools left-leaning? How does that trend progress? And why being a leftist you have to side with Palestine? This and much more in this week's episode of your favourite podcast.

Thinking Out Loud 095: Ask The Psychologist with Alona
Hi Thinkers!
This week we have an enormous pleasure hosting Alona, a psychologist who is joining us from Greece. We're not wasting any minute of this meeting bombarding her with questions: does language hijack our soul? How does it feel like leaving your beloved city? Why do professional athletes seem so mature even if they are barely over 20? What is burnout doing with us? What is the difference between a stickler and a perfectionist? How much does childhood shape us? What are the chances of taking self-confidence shaped in a classroom outside of it?
