From Manchester to Mexico and back: Languages, identity and communication

I share my international journey on BizPod and how living abroad has shaped my approach to language learning, teaching and communication.

In this episode, we explore how different languages influence the way we express ourselves, and sometimes we adapt our personality or feel quieter in English. You can hear how cultural experiences shape communication styles and why exposure to authentic English is essential for developing stronger listening skills.

As a Business English specialist with experience living and working internationally, I discuss how professionals can become more comfortable communicating in English by focusing on confidence, curiosity and real-world practice rather than perfection.

Key topics:

  • Business English and professional communication
  • International experiences and cultural awareness
  • Improving English listening skills
  • Language and identity
  • Communicating confidently across cultures
