Good morning and welcome to the FIRST EPISODE of the Language Confidence Project! In this episode, we are taking a look at the term "target language" and asking if it might be driving a wedge between you and your new language. Join your host, Emily Richardson, every weekday for a short and snappy dose of language courage to get you unstuck. Emily is the tiny and colourful creator of Tea with Me, a platform to help multi-passionate and unconventional language learners splash language into every part of their lives. She is also the author of the How to Be Me series of language journals to help you to tell the stories that really matter in your new language.

A huge thank you to Samuel Peter Davies for the happiest music in the world, and to Anna Bovi Diamond for using every colour in the box on the cover art.
