Do language teachers make good language learners?

In the staffroom

Programme producer Andrew Henley took his mike into the teachers' room at IH to find out from the English teachers whether or not "apart from being good language teachers they were good language learners..."

The answers ranged from "Fantastic" and "Good" to "No, definitely not", "Terrible" and "Absolutely crap".

If you're learning a language yourself, it makes a fascinating list of "do's" and "don'ts"...
