In this episode: Air Travel (we're going to help you communicate better when you travel by air)

Listener Feedback: Alba from Madrid:
Remind and remember. What's the difference?

Remember is when you think of a memory, a past experience (un recuerdo):
I remember the first time I arrived in Valencia.
Do you remember the first time you saw valencia or Spain?
I remember arriving in Valencia. (remember + verb + ing)

Remember is also the opposite of forget,
Remember to bring the notes to the podcasting session (remember + infinitive) - don't forget!
Remember to thank our sponsors at the end of the podcast.

Remind is when a person or a thing makes you think about something:
This app on my phone reminds me to take my medicine
Hey Reza, remind me to thank our sponsors at the end of the episode.

People are reminded of things. (it doesn't appear in their head) - I heard a particular song and was reminded of when I first met my wife.
People remember things. (it does appear in their head)

REMEMBER = Person doing it themselves
REMIND = Other person (or thing) making someone else remember.

What's been your most memorable lesson as a teacher? (What do you remember most vividly?)
