When we learn a language, are we just carving a path that leads back to ourselves?

In this first episode, I meet with Ashley, English Language Trainer and Communication Coach for Athletes and Sports Professionals.

Ashley reflects on what drew her to Spain over 20 years ago, and describes a time when she felt ‘the click’. Interestingly, she shares an anecdote describing her reactive ‘Spanish-self’, and how she actually likes her ‘English-self’ better!

We touch on creativity in her field of sports, and feeling creative in different languages.

*In this episode I refer to the ideas of Graham Wallas (whose name I forget at the time), a social psychologist and educationalist, and the four steps of creativity he describes in his book The Art of Thought. You can read the same summary that I read here: https://www.themarginalian.org/2013/08/28/the-art-of-thought-graham-wallas-stages/
