[28:53] In anticipation of the International Convention in Paris last summer, Carol Bausor's article "Brush Up Your French! How to (re)gain fluency in time for Paris 2020," appeared in the Toastmaster magazine in February 2020. Like most in-person events, the Convention moved online due to the pandemic. On the bright side, the shift to virtual club meetings has opened new cross-cultural opportunities for Toastmasters members around the world, so we invited Carol on the show to explore how we expand our communication and increase proficiency in a foreign language.

Carol Bausor is the founder of ILTC, a language training company in France. She teaches and runs workshops and events on feeling confident when speaking a foreign language.

Carol shares plenty of tips and ideas, including some counterintuitive advice that just may have you approaching fluency sooner than you think!
