| 4/4/22 |  Feminism in Our Language World (Panel Discussion) | Today I’m bringing you a special, a recording of an expert panel discussion I moderated at the recent Women in Language conference, entitled *“Feminism in Our Language World”. * This is a top quality conversation I think you should hear. It isn’t a talk about how to learn vocabulary or find conversation partners in some kind of feminist way. It’s an examination of the world we live in, and how it may impact us as humans, not just language learners. > "Feminism helps me to get space to just say what I want to say and not feel like I can't say my message." > "A lot of people still see "feminist" as the extreme end of the spectrum and so are reluctant to use the term to describe themselves." > "I can talk all day about the intersectionality of all things. But when you're not in a place where you can make mistakes, we're not in a place where you can make change." > "To become the best version of yourself, you need to stand for the humanity of someone else." I am grateful to Lindsay and Shannon as well as our panelists Archana Parmar, Chesline Pierre Paul, Martina Gerdts, and Samantha Lassaux, for allowing me to put this audio out on the podcast.

| 11/22/21 |  Bilingual Episode (German and English): Discovering ELF 🧝🏼 and EU Interpreting 🇪🇺 with Karin Reithofer | An Italian native speaker and a Portuguese native speaker walk into a bar. They are speaking to each other. Which language are they using? Is it English or ELF? What even is ELF? In today's episode, my guest is EU intrepreter and ELF expert Karin Reithofer. We discuss How Karin got into her career as a freelance interpreter working in 4 languages My non-scientific (and apparently correct!) theory about the personalities of interpreters and translators What ELF is and who speaks it Who owns English and whose English is correct? How Brexit has liberated the EU (linguistically! don't come for me!) Bilingual Episode Karin and I are both German native speakers, so we switched from English into German for a little bit to give you some listening practice as a learner. If you are not a German learner, don't worry as we'll always switch back to English and I interpreted make sure you don't miss anything. Here I always like to remember what the late Ron Gullekson from Language Surfer told me: "in a new language, I like to get uncomfortable as early as possible."

| 10/18/21 |  Bilingual Episode: Meet My Language Teacher Dafydd (Fearlessly Speaking Welsh) | "I never drop anything entirely. It's always still there in the background." In today's episode, I have brought on my very own language teacher! Dafydd Morse is a Welsh-Maths-Baking-Everything tutor and learning enthusiast from Wales. We'll chat about Dafydd's own background growing up bilingually in Wales Why it's important to Dafydd to pass on the Welsh language to his own children Daf's love of learning and the one language he tried that didn't work out at all What types of Welsh learners there are, and how you can become successful as a learner of any language Bilingual Episode You've been asking for a bilingual Welsh episode, and finally here it is! I took the opportunity to ask Dafydd a few questions in Welsh in this episode. You will hear him reply in Welsh and conduct the conversation like that for a few minutes. I summarize in English afterwards. If you are not a Welsh learner, don't worry as we'll always switch back to English. Here I always like to remember what the late Ron Gullekson from Language Surfer told me: "in a new language, I like to get uncomfortable as early as possible."

| 10/11/21 |  The Hidden Cost of Cheap & Easy Language Learning | We've never had it so good, have we? Language instruction is easily available these days through apps, social media, and teaching platforms. And it's so affordable ...if not entirely free! Sounds great, right? Well, just like every other big global industry "disruption", things aren't so simple with this one either. In today's podcast episode, we bring you a deep dive into that Boston Review article called "Who Pays for Cheap Language Instruction?" We discuss: working conditions of language teachers and course creators how the apps profit from language learners what the tutoring market is like for teachers from different parts of the world why this is weakening the language learning industry what you can do about this right now "We have put up with “products” inspired less by linguistic justice than by game design. We have acquiesced to corporate cognitive-science experiments that harvest and mold our habits as data When it comes to acquiring languages, we have learned to ignore our agency, our sense of ethics and social justice, even as we have flexed these same faculties to support a bookstore or a clothing company. Simply put, we have consented to being the consumers that the language industry wants us to be. Where do you listen?
