Welcome to the Connect 2 Languages podcast
Hi, this is Nolwenn, I have been a language teacher since 2010 and I created this podcast to help you create a positive connection with languages and in particular with English. Learning a language is not only mastering linguistics, it is also about accepting to change your identity.
SHOW NOTES
It's episode 1 and I'm super happy to start this adventure with you. Today, we are going to talk about a rather particular and very unpleasant feeling, it is the feeling of feeling blocked when you want to speak in a foreign language and today I am going to take the example of foreigners who live in France and who feel blocked although they have a good level in French, by good level, I mean an intermediate level. They feel blocked, embarrassed, they are not able to express themselves as they would like. I have a lot of students like that. I myself used to feel that way with Spanish when I lived in Argentina.
Where does this feeling come from? Why does it prevent you from feeling comfortable in French? We'll talk about it in a minute.
Now, to get the full transcript of this episode, then head over to my website www.connect2languages.com
The idea is to be able to access the transcription and also the French translation for the ones who speak French. And that is because this episode also exists in French on my other podcast, which is all in French connect2french.com
And then, this week, for video tutorials, on vocabulary, go to my YouTube channel.
