Languages are not only tools for communication; they shape how we connect with people, experience different cultures and understand ourselves.
I was invited to Expat Insights to share my perspective on the emotional side of language learning, including the courage it takes to make mistakes, embrace your accent and find your voice in another language. We explore how confidence develops over time and why meaningful communication is about connection rather than perfection.
The conversation also looks at the future of language learning, including the role of AI and technology, and why it may be a good idea to ditch the apps if you want to improve your English. Listen to the interview to understand why human interaction and cultural understanding remain essential parts of becoming a confident communicator.
Key topics:
- Language learning and identity
- Confidence when speaking another language
- Cultural awareness and communication
- The role of AI in language learning
- Finding your voice abroad
