Italian Language Builder – Michel Thomas
So I worked through this. It is not as good as the Foundation course because he doesn’t use the students. I don’t remember this being so frustrating. It’s very very fast because you’re not waiting for a student to respond so you really need to be fast with the pause button. I was playing this…

Code with GitHub Copilot

New CBT Certificate
Recently, I decided to top up my knowledge of CBT with a Udemy course. The course was a little bit simple and unpractical, but by working the course with some friends and practicing the techniques it helped remind me of a few areas I haven’t touched in years like working through fears.
