Teacher Joseph's Podcast

小王子所访问的下一个星球上住着一个酒鬼。
The next planet was inhabited by a tippler.
访问时间非常短，可是它却使小王子非常忧伤。
This was a very short visit, but it plunged the little prince into deep dejection.
“你在干什么？”小王子问酒鬼，这个酒鬼默默地坐在那里，面前有一堆酒瓶子，有的装着酒，有的是空的。
"What are you doing there?" he said to the tippler, whom he found settled down in silence before a collection of empty bottles and also a collection of full bottles.
“我喝酒。”他阴沉忧郁地回答道。
"I am drinking," replied the tippler, with a lugubrious air.
“你为什么喝酒？”小王子问道。
"Why are you drinking?" demanded the little prince.
“为了忘却。”酒鬼回答。

"So that I may forget," replied the tippler.
小王子已经有些可怜酒鬼。他问道：“忘却什么呢？”
"Forget what?" inquired the little prince, who already was sorry for him.
酒鬼垂下脑袋坦白道：“为了忘却我的羞愧。”
"Forget that I am ashamed," the tippler confessed, hanging his head.
“你羞愧什么呢？”小王子很想救助他。
"Ashamed of what?" insisted the little prince, who wanted to help him.
“我羞愧我喝酒。”酒鬼说完以后就再也不开口了。
"Ashamed of drinking!" The tippler brought his speech to an end, and shut himself up in an impregnable silence.
小王子迷惑不解地离开了。
And the little prince went away, puzzled.
在旅途中，他自言自语地说道：“这些大人确实真叫怪。”
"The grown-ups are certainly very, very odd," he said to himself, as he continued on his journey.

My Chinese friend Han and I finally had the chance to sit down for a conversation. He had asked to be on my podcast to share his experience as my student, but with our busy schedules and limited time outside of class, we kept putting it off or rescheduling for the past six months. Finally, we found a mutual time that worked, so here’s the podcast!

I hope this episode speaks to those of you who’ve ever felt stuck learning English, who know the words but struggle to speak, who feel the pressure of exams but don’t feel confident in real conversations. Because learning a language isn’t just about passing tests, it’s about unlocking opportunities, building connections, and having the freedom to express yourself in any situation. If you’ve ever wished for that kind of confidence, this episode is for you!
