"The power of language to connect...or 'disconnect'", as Alba says.

Alba and I are probably as passionate about language as each other. She uses her passion working to improve communication between individuals and teams through her business "Comunicación de La Buena".

There are so many things that I loved about this episode, (the role of status and power when speaking another language, being able to avoid conflict with your partner by speaking each other's language, travelling and its impact on your business)... but I want to hear from you! What have you found interesting?

Leave a comment, share the episode with a friend and rate it! It really does mean the world to me.

Season 2 will begin next year - so stay tuned!

According to Sixto, "if you can find yourself in the same emotion and then be able to speak from that emotion, then that's the click".

After over 6 years not using his English, Sixto, writer and author of ‘Viaje sin retorno’ (available on Amazon) agreed to join me to talk about how he experiences himself in English, what creativity means to him, and what would motivate him to write in English. As always, I adore the different perspectives each of my guests share.

"My personality is what it is...the language just becomes a means of communication"

Claire, a Spanish and Italian-speaking American now based in Italy (and who teaches Italian kids 👉 @claire_teaches_kids) had the life goal of becoming bilingual... She didn't want to sound like an American 😅 and could even convince people that she was Spanish! 😆

Don't miss her definition of creativity or her thoughts on what motivates people to use English in their businesses and projects.

“You start by stealing language, and then start manipulating it”, says Carl. I couldn't agree more!

Meet Carl, from @platform10english - Brain Friendly English Learning. In this episode, we philosophise about language and identity ("Am I allowed to be different versions of myself?"), how it impacts on our creativity and what’s important to remember when transforming your business into English!

Action packed, so don’t miss it!

P.S. I laughed so much thinking about this dynamite statement from Carl: “It’s worth learning French just to understand this album!” 👉 Bête et Méchant - Oldelaf... Are there any French speakers who can agree? Message me!
