[B1] Episode 2 – Strategies for Introverts When Italian

🇬🇧 In this episode, I talk about a topic I know well: how to face the challenge of speaking Italian when you’re an introvert.

Many people think introversion is a barrier to language learning — but that’s not true! On the contrary, if you’re reflective, attentive, and sensitive, you have many strengths you can use to your advantage.

This episode offers practical strategies to:

– Prepare for conversations without pressure

– Take a gradual approach that respects your pace

– Practice on your own with reading aloud and imagined dialogues

– Choose your language partners carefully

– Use “rescue phrases” when you feel stuck

– Let go of perfectionism and focus on effective communication

I’ll also share some of the superpowers of introverts: listening, observing, and speaking with more awareness.

Being introverted isn’t a weakness — it’s just a different (and totally valid) way of learning.
