In this episode, I want to share a tip you might not have considered for language learning: your operating system. On phones, I’ve gone from iOS to Android, and Android wins hands down because it supports far more languages, including underrepresented ones like Irish and Esperanto. Simply changing your phone’s interface gives you daily exposure in a very natural way, and that small but constant immersion adds up.

For computers, I’ve completely switched to Linux, and I can’t recommend it enough. It used to feel intimidating, but with AI help I got everything set up in a weekend. Now I have a smooth, beautiful system that supports any language you can imagine, and I can even set different apps in different languages. On top of that, Linux pairs perfectly with free, open source alternatives to expensive software, which keeps me flexible and travel-ready. If you’ve never thought of your OS as part of your language learning toolkit, it’s worth giving it a try.
