S1 E10: Learning with Heart

Welcome to the last episode of season 1! It's truly an honor to have had you with me on the journey of this season. Today we're talking about 3 things that can help you evaluate how to learn with heart, namely:

1) Is personality change between languages really a thing? Is it a thing for everyone? Some people? Are there introverted/extroverted languages? Are we giving too much value to this last idea? What about people who grew up in a very conservative background in an "extroverted" language or vice versa?

2) You language learning routine can't stay static throughout your life. As your priorities and responsibilities outside of language change, re-evaluating your priorities within language will help you stay strong and avoid burnout.

3) Your abilities in language are a reflection of your experiences in that language, so I hereby give you permission to stop chasing that monolingual ideal and to instead see your language journey as a sort of map of where you've been linguistically.

I hope you enjoy today's episode! Reach out on IG @shhh_imlearning to let me know what you think. :)
