416 - How Can I Prepare To Travel Abroad In 1 Month?

416 - How Can I Prepare To Travel Abroad In 1 Month?

In this live episode of the podcast, I answer YouTube user Kay Koopmans' excellent question:

"I have a month before I go to Germany for a 10-month foreign exchange program, but I don’t know any German. With a month's time to prepare, what do you suggest I do? Just learn like anyone else? Just memorize vocab? What’s the most effective thing to focus on when you only have a very short amount of time before being thrown into the deep end?!"
