Welcome to Beyond the Borders, where we explore how migration, culture, and global experiences shape who we are. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating question: Does learning a new language change your personality? Many bilinguals report feeling like a different person when they switch languages—more confident, funnier, or even more romantic—but is there science behind this? We break down how language learning impacts self-expression, cognitive flexibility, and empathy, with insights from linguists, psychologists, and real-life experiences. Whether you’re a polyglot or just starting your language journey, this episode will make you rethink language as more than just a tool for communication—it’s a gateway to unlocking new versions of yourself.
