In this episode, I attempt to tackle the highly controversial topic of native speakerism and what it means to be a good language teacher. The episode is divided into three main parts:

1. My personal experiences learning multiple languages, including a shameful secret

2. My professional experiences as a teacher of 4 languages

3. What I learned from others during an open discussion I lead at the Polyglot Gathering online this past March on the same topic.

There are so many things that could and need to be said on this topic, and I invite you to keep the conversation going by replying to my posts on Instagram on the topic or writing me a message (https://www.instagram.com/thefutureisbilingual/). You can also find out more about the show on my website (https://thefutureisbilingual.wordpress.com/).
