In Episode 1, How I Fell Into CI (and Survived), I’m joined by Jodi Dinsmore and Paulino Brener as we spill all the awkward, hilarious, and downright relatable stories about discovering comprehensible input — from our “Before CI” flops to our first breakthroughs and the survival tricks that kept us going. Whether you’re new to CI or need a reminder that messy starts are normal, you’ll laugh, nod along, and leave ready to tackle your own CI journey with confidence.
