S2 E4: Language Learning Over 50, an interview with Lisa Lyons

I cannot wait for you to hear today's episode with Lisa Lyons. Lisa came to me with the idea to chat about what it's like learning languages when you're over 50 and have more of a loose relationship with goals. This isn't a topic often discussed in language learning circles and Lisa has so much wisdom to share.

We go over Lisa's language learning journey, where to find baseball games broadcast in Spanish and the importance of learning at your own pace. Additionally, we go over how your needing subtitles even when you're at an advanced level is probably not your fault. Check out the resources list below for a video about how changing technology has made it harder for you to understand movies and TV shows, even in your native language(s).

As always, let me know what you thought of the show! Reach out to me on Instagram @shhh_imlearning any time with questions, comments and ideas for future episodes. And please consider buying me a coffee if you want to see me continuously improve my content and better serve YOU. A little goes a long way. :)
