Happy Friday, language learners! Today, we are rounding off our week of episodes about starting new things with a reminder that when everything is unfamiliar and things are hard, you deserve a break more than ever. 

And don't forget... I'm still on a mission to meet you! My first project for the year is 100 Conversations with listeners of the podcast, so that we can hang out and get to know each other, and you can tell me how your language journey is going and what carving your own path means to you.  If you fancy a cuppa and a 30 minute chat about all things language learning, I would love to hear from you! And of course, it's completely free, and nobody is going to try and sell you anything. Sign up here at calendly.com/teawithemily/100conversations or in my Instagram bio!

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. Join her on Instagram at @teawithemily or visit her website at https://teawithemily.com/

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.
