0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to the wooden spoon. It's Eve here! And we are coming to the end of the series. It's all
0:16.0	very sad, but we have a lot in store for you still, so make sure you stay along with us. Today's
0:21.6	episode is all about Sense of Self and we kind of delve into a discussion of, is there a difference
0:26.8	between having a sense of self and having independence. So we kind of discuss about how sense of
0:32.8	self is knowing what you want, but independence is a bit different because independence means
0:37.8	that you're feeling empowered to reach what you want, so you're putting the sense of self into true
0:42.7	action. So in this episode we kind of talk about a lot of anecdotes, a lot of times in life where we
0:47.7	feel like our sense of self has driven us to achieve success, or even times where we feel like
0:52.2	independence has been forced upon us. For example, if you lose your sense of self, can you get back

1:27.9	tell us what you tried to learn. So I have been learning French with Rosetta Stone, oh god, I thought
1:33.7	you just said some French. That was just me like stomping on my words. That was just a little I know
1:42.9	about the French language. Yeah, so I can't really say I'm very good at French, but I've been
1:48.5	trying and learning, and I would say I definitely know the basics, and I actually went to France when
1:54.4	I was inter-reling, and because of the app just like refreshing my knowledge, I actually was able
2:01.6	to slightly barter the price of a waterproof phone case at like a market in Anise. That's definitely
2:09.6	the main reason why you should learn a language for a waterproof phone case everyone. Jack, what
2:14.8	about you? I did Spanish on Rosetta Stone. I studied it for GCSE, and then unfortunately it was one
2:22.1	of those things that I kind of just lost. I just forgot to maintain it, and so Rosetta Stone was
