Given half a chance, the Inner Complainer will stockpile all the evidence she can to let us know that life is unfair, language learning is pointless, and it'll all be too hard. She will compound fact after fact, quote after quote. She’ll bring in news headlines, data, song lyrics, your past, all to fit her main goal of finding as many problems as possible that she can claim will prevent you learning your language. 

We have to disrupt that spiral before we lose all hope in our language learning for today.

Join your host, Emily Richardson, every weekday for a short and snappy dose of language courage to get you unstuck, whether you love languages or whether you really don't, but need to learn one anyway. 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.
