The Closest Example

Thomas and I were introduced to a comedian a few years ago, not personally, but by listening to one of his routines.  At the time he didn’t strike us as particularly funny, I don’t know why, but he didn’t.  We recently randomly rediscovered him on the internet, and we have since been laughing hysterically at many of his skits. Oh yeah, his name is Tim Hawkins, by the way.

He has one skit in particular that I thought I’d show you because it’s the closest example that I could think of to explain the often embarrassing experiences that we have in the process of learning a new language.  Hope you enjoy it!
