S1 Ep.2 - “What if I Picked the ‘Wrong’ Language / What if I’m Just Not Good at Languages Anyway?” - Audio version

In S1 Ep. 2 we talk about two common fears in language learning: “What if I picked the wrong language?” and “What if I’m just not good at languages, anyway?” These kinds of doubts can hold people back, especially when tied to identity, expectations, or a sense of falling behind.

We also highlight some key takeaways that might help if you're navigating similar thoughts. Whether you’ve switched languages before, feel like you're behind, or are questioning your progress, you’re definitely not alone.
