Podcast Speaker: Language Learning - The Ink Well Podcast

Podcast Speaker: Languages & Inclusion

In this episode of The Ink Well Podcast, host Paulius Juodis, and I discuss the power of languages. As someone who grew up in various countries across continents, languages have always been a vehicle to bridge cultures and promote inclusion and over the years I have learned 6 fluently (Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Mandarin).Learning languages is not a "tick the box" exercise but a lifestyle as you have to keep them alive by traveling, connecting with people, and creating a conducive environment. To truly understand a culture, learning its languages and the nuances is a must.In this episode, we go in depth into the following topics:

• How to deal with the frustrations that come while learning a language
• How to reach fluency and later maintain it
• What are some of the less anticipated merits of learning a foreign tongue
• The importance of having a strong ‘Why?’
• The necessity of having or creating an effective language learning environment
• and much more
