    How to Build your Confidence

    Have you ever felt that wave of panic when it’s your turn to speak in another language? You know what you want to say, but your mind goes blank, and suddenly it’s as if you’ve forgotten every word you’ve ever learned. And what might be even worse, this panic could lead you to decide to give up on using the language you’ve spent so much time and effort learning.


    Today we are talking with Kaylea Russell about how to build our confidence so we can speak without fear.


    You can find Kaylea at kaylearussell.com or on LinkedIn.

    How to Become a Good Language Learner

    Remember that friend in school who seemed to pick up languages without any problem? On this very first episode of Love to Lingo, we'll uncover the strategies that she was probably using to make her language learning look effortless.


    As you listen, we invite you to think about the following:
    • Do you or your learners use this strategy?
    • How could you try out or encourage your learner to use this strategy?
    • Are there any strategies that aren't on this list?

    We'd love to hear your answers to those questions. Please, send us an audio DM or a written message on our Instagram or Threads page. You can find us
