My favourite tip ended up being tip 3, using a language in order to learn a language.1) Open your ears and get into the exercises at listeningpractice.org2) Learn a language with Pinterest.

Check out the Fluent Language courses (https://www.fluentlanguage.co.uk/my-courses) It is worth clarifying that we actively want to support anti-racism and will highlight and advocate for the equality of all. Language learning means committing to tolerance of other world views, and this open mind is a core value for me. This topic deserves well considered words so here are the best Kerstin managed to put together. (https://www.fluent.show/blacklivesmatter)
