Welcome back to the penultimate episode for season 3 of Shhh, I’m Learning!
Today’s guest is Renée Arinzé, a language teacher and coach who empowers language learners to be consistent, resilient and motivated using a holistic approach based on neuroscience and psychology.
Renee has been learning languages since 2008 and can communicate in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French at varying levels. Since the start of her career she has helped hundreds of students to speak the languages they love with confidence and fluency, using the same tips that helped her to become a polyglot.
In today’s episode, we go over practical things like how to respond to, “How many languages do you speak?” We take a look at Renee’s language journey and her work, focusing towards the end of our chat on what it means to have social anxiety and how that affects language learning. Having worked with Renee, I can say she is truly an expert in what she does and puts so much effort into creating quality resources for her students and clients.
