Asked by Sarah

What is meant by the term "mutually assured destruction"?

If something is mutual it means it is shared between two or more people. Mutually assured destruction means that to destroy the other person in whatever sense will also destroy you. For example if someone set off a grenade in a room to kill their enemy but they are also in the room they will both die.

What is Q&A on Scoodle?

Hard-working tutor and undergraduate at The University of Exeter

I am a qualified teacher who brings to each lesson not only my love of the language but also fun facts and key cultural insights gleaned from having lived in both francophone and hispanic speaking countries. We can learn at your rhythm and using whichever method you prefer. You can draw your answers or say them out loud, this is just a way of you getting the most vocabulary you need in order to succeed for your end of year exams! You lead the session, if you would like to watch a video instead of listen to a recording or if you would rather do an hour of grammar, the choice is in your hands! If you are more after just conversation to practise key phrases when you go on holiday abroad this summer or if you are trying to get the attention of a special person then that is also within my remit and I will be happy to be of assistance.
