Doctor Stephen and Jennie Jones finish part two of their conversation with Mike about language learning in Berlin.
This week they talk about their current school, how language learning is a key contributor to role deprivation, and the impact language learning has had on their spiritual lives.
They also talk about the CESL, the levels of language learning, and how language learning based on a level and a proficiency test can be both helpful and discouraging.
