The Moment it Clicked

Are we more creative or lazier in our mother tongue?

Meet Ana, my Spanish guest who shares her perspective on learning a new language, emphasising the need to learn the culture that comes with it!

She shows us how we can feel ourselves despite our language level. We talk about the ups and downs of speaking another language, and how connection and rapport help us to speak confidently!

“You start by stealing language, and then start manipulating it”, says Carl. I couldn't agree more! 

Meet Carl, from @platform10english - Brain Friendly English Learning. In this episode, we philosophise about language and identity ("Am I allowed to be different versions of myself?"), how it impacts on our creativity and what’s important to remember when transforming your business into English!

Action packed, so don’t miss it!

P.S. I laughed so much thinking about this dynamite statement from Carl: “It’s worth learning French just to understand this album!” 👉 Bête et Méchant - Oldelaf... Are there any French speakers who can agree? Message me!

Maybe 'the click' is all about perception...

In this week’s episode, we hear from Ana Hernandez from @thetriple_t. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say she challenges the idea of 'the click'! I absolutely loved hearing her answers, and I'm sure you will too.

When we learn a language, are we just carving a path that leads back to ourselves? 

In this first episode, I meet with Ashley, English Language Trainer and Communication Coach for Athletes and Sports Professionals. 

Ashley reflects on what drew her to Spain over 20 years ago, and describes a time when she felt ‘the click’. Interestingly, she shares an anecdote describing her reactive ‘Spanish-self’, and how she actually likes her ‘English-self’ better! 

We touch on creativity in her field of sports, and feeling creative in different languages. 

*In this episode I refer to the ideas of Graham Wallas (whose name I forget at the time), a social psychologist and educationalist, and the four steps of creativity he describes in his book The Art of Thought. You can read the same summary that I read here: https://www.themarginalian.org/2013/08/28/the-art-of-thought-graham-wallas-stages/

Together, they explore what it means to be creative and contemplate the curious question...Which of your languages is more creative?

A podcast for language lovers and language learners alike.
