For Episode 3 I had the pleasure of chatting with British fellow podcaster Luke Green from Yellow of the Egg @yotepodcast, who not only speaks German fluently and accent-free but also learned the language within one year only. What motivates and challenges people along the way of learning a foreign language? How to overcome stagnation and enable continuous learning? Which cultural experiences or shocks can be expected on that journey and how does speaking another language change us personally? I had many questions that led to a lively conversation and plenty of laughter. Tune in on October 1st on any podcast platform of your choice!
