In this episode of the Confident English Podcast, Emma explores what can happen to your English as your children grow up, why living in an English-speaking country doesn't necessarily mean your English will keep improving, and what your kids might actually be able to teach you about becoming fluent.
If you're raising children in an English-speaking country and you've ever wondered how they raced ahead while your English seemed to stay in the same place, this episode is for you.
