Hi Leon,
Many thanks for your comment and your positive feedback. It is greatly appreciated,
I am glad that my podcast brought back some good memories for you. Having students from so many countries and cultures must really make for some very interesting interactions and a lot of new learning by everyone. You can never stop learning in this world, in my humble opinion.
Best regards,
Rob

I attended the AMEP (Adult Migrant English Program) for about one year, from 2022 to 2023.
It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. As you mentioned in the podcast, we had more than thirty students in our class, which was Level Three — the top level, and the only one at that time in the school.

I remember that the students came from so many different countries and regions. Let me list them: China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Brazil, Colombia, Russia, and Australia.

It was so funny that we even had two students from Australia! That’s another story I’ll tell in the future. With so many students from different cultural backgrounds studying in one classroom, you can imagine how dramatic it was!

Listening to this podcast brought back all those beautiful memories. It was amazing.
Thank you, Rob, for your work.

Hi Tashi,
Many thanks for your comment. I really appreciate your feedback about my podcast. Helping people like yourself on their language journey is exactly why I started the podcast.
Have a great day in Canberra.
Best regards,

Hi Lisa,
Many thanks for another very interesting comment. Well written! I appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you and your husband Frank at Swinburne. I am impressed that you got 90% on the quiz. Well done! Also impressive is your checking of new vocabulary words in the dictionary. That’s how you grow your speaking vocabulary.
Yes, the photo of the kangaroos was a classic moment for me. Those kangaroos don’t realise it but they are the stars of Slow English!
Best regards,
Rob

Hi Claire,
Many thanks for your comment. I appreciate your kind words about my podcast. I am glad that you have found my podcasts useful. To come to another country to live, especially one where you don’t speak the language, must be very challenging. Your adventurous spirit and your determination to succeed are an inspiration to me. I wish you well for the future, and also in your English studies. I can tell from your comment that your English is already impressive. Well done!
Best regards,
Rob.
