What happens when you spend years learning a language… and then forget it? 🤯

In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Laura, and together, we take a trip down memory lane to our language-learning adventures in Beijing. We talk about:

• How we met while studying Mandarin in China 🇨🇳
• The joys and pitfalls of language learning – and why it disappears so quickly!
• Whether speaking a different language changes your personality 🤔
• Laura’s workplace email disaster (she accidentally emailed Christ instead of Chris for six months!)
• The reality of moving abroad and why some expats never truly integrate

Join us for a fun and insightful chat filled with memories, cultural differences, and a few embarrassing language mishaps!
