S4 E8: Interview with Bront'e Singleton (The Polyglot Fox)

In this episode of Shhh! I'm Learning, we’re joined (again!) by Bront’e Singleton, also known as The Polyglot Fox. Bront’e shares her refreshing perspective on language learning, blending joy, creativity, and strategies tailored for all language learners, but with a special focus on neurodivergent (or "neurospicy") learners. From her playful experiences with German and Italian to rethinking the guilt many learners feel, Bront’e invites us to transform our approach to languages into one that’s guilt-free, flexible, and fun.

We explore:

• Bront’e’s surprising discoveries while learning German and Italian and how she embraces unexpected moments like blending accents.
• Insights into her innovative program, Polyglot Delights, designed to make language learning feel like opening a box of chocolates—indulgent and enjoyable.
• Strategies for neurospicy learners, including reframing consistency, overcoming distractions, and creating personalized systems that actually work.
• Why it’s okay to take breaks, listen to your body, and define success in a way that aligns with your energy and goals.

Bront’e also shares how language learning intersects with mental health, social connection, and self-compassion, encouraging listeners to embrace their own unique journeys.
