Every Week English Season 1 Episode 8

We have another incredible guest, one whom my wife has called a friend for over a decade, Masha (Maria) "Bubbles".  She has travelled to over twenty different countries from Switzerland in the mountains, to Japan in the city.  She tells about her experience learning English and its usefulness, as well as her reviews of fancy restaurants and which countries are her favorites.
