In this episode, I share my experience of being judged intellectually. It happened during my first semester of graduate school. A classmate assumed I wasn't smart enough and offered to write the entire research paper we were assigned to work on together.

You will learn new vocabulary, English phrases, idioms, and, of course, improve your listening comprehension.

Enjoy!
