You'll find out the full story during the episode. 

But we discussed so much more... her stint in corporate world, the 'modern' way she learnt English, the perception people get of language learners and the way in which our our culture impacts on how we interact with the world.

Introducing Ana Tori, from Studio Re:Start (https://www.studio-restart.co/) - a German-and-English-speaking Slovenian architect! 

This episode takes us on a journey through a little bit of this Slavic language and Slovenian history, and how this almost naturally develops into the need to learn other languages. She talks about her 'click' moment - one I hadn't yet heard! 

We see similarities in language learning and business, and how we can allow ourselves to feel a little bit silly in the process, but something that really surprises me is how Ana says, 'Once you learn a language, nobody can take that away from you'.

Alba and I are probably as passionate about language as each other. She uses her passion working to improve communication between individuals and teams through her business "Comunicación de La Buena".

There are so many things that I loved about this episode, (the role of status and power when speaking another language, being able to avoid conflict with your partner by speaking each other's language, travelling and its impact on your business)... but I want to hear from you!

]]> “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!

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/
