On this podcast, you’ll meet Evan, a very experienced teacher who’s originally from Idaho in the US, but now is in Europe and he joined me to talk about teaching, travel and artificial intelligence, among other things.

What’s the most annoying thing about teaching remotely?

Which places and cities have you visited and worked in?

How do you balance the temptation of wanting to visit tourist attractions and needing to work?

What are some other pros and cons of working and travelling?

Bon Jovi – Dead or Alive: “It’s all the same, it’s only the names that change.”

Evan’s mum: “There’s no geographical solution to a personal problem.”

In China, did students have a preference between having a US accent or a British one?

What are your thoughts on students wanting to sound more like a native English speaker?

What would you say to a student who wants to sound more like a native speaker? Who isn’t happy with their accent?
