AFP 183 - Jennifer Degenhardt: Better School Learning and Creating Inclusive Materials

In the episode I'm joined by Spanish Teacher and Educational Author, Jennifer Degenhardt. We go over why school language learning is in such a bad state in many schools, and what innovative and energetic teachers like Jennifer can do to improve the results the kids get from the classroom.  We also talk about her diverse and inclusive range of educational materials, as well as her experience spending a year learning Spanish abroad in latin America. === SPONSOR This episode is sponsored by OptiLingo.

We also talk about apps, methodology, and education to try and find ways to shorten the path to mastery.
