Les Bons Mots: A Podcast about Language Learning

Living in your Second Language


Listen Later

Welcome back to season three of Les Bons Mots!

Have you ever lived in a second language environment or been immersed in one? Do you increasingly use your second language at work? This experience is the focus of the first episode of season 3 of Les Bons Mots.  In this episode, we are excited to speak to David Thibodeau, who is a radio producer for CBC/Radio-Canada, Canada’s national broadcaster. He talks about what it has been like for him and his family to move from Gatineau, Quebec to Vancouver, British Columbia - from a French-speaking environment to an English-speaking one. 

David talks about how his confidence in using English has increased, how he has improved his language skills, and shares some advice for anyone who is considering a move to a second-language environment, or looking to use their second language more than before. 

Our phrasal verb of the week is pick up - do you know how to use this phrasal verb to talk about learning? Listen and find out!
