Episode 230: EwK230 - Alice MANSAUD on being yourself in another language and how podcasts can help us to learn

01/16/24 • 29 min

Alice MANSAUD is a French coach and podcaster whom I discovered through The Language Worker podcast.
In France, Italy, Poland, Spain...Alice has always cherished international encounters and experiences, so much she decided to teach her native language, French to non-French speakers! Through her own journey in learning languages and expatriation, she explored the power of the brain and life challenges, which led her to create her own method. With "Moi-même en français", she helps non-French speakers to learn and absorb French in order to be(come) themselves in French.
We talked about:
* The importance of being and becoming yourself in another language.
* Alice's podcast, the different kinds of episodes that she produces, and how listening to podcasts can help us to learn other languages.
* The need to find new challenges as intermediate language learners.
Alice's newsletter for people who are learning French.
Finding our own way as language learners and identifying the strategies that will be most useful for us.
Our take-away at the end - be open and curious to try new things that will take your language learning adventure to the next level!

Episode 231: EwK231 - Which words do you want to remove from your active vocabulary?

Today I decided to do a short episode to ask you a question!
We talk about increasing our vocabulary, but sometimes there are words about ourselves or our language skills that don't serve us. It would be better if we stopped using them.
I give some examples of things that I often hear, or something that I want to stop saying in my Portuguese classes when the teacher asks me a question!
Are there any words that you want to banish from your active vocabulary about yourself?
