    Ever wondered what it's like to move to a new country and immerse yourself in a foreign language? Marty takes us through her journey of language learning and adaptation.


    1. Moving to a Different Country and Not Speaking the Language:

      • Many language learners find themselves in situations where they have to move to a new country and adapt to a completely different language.

How did you navigate the initial fears and uncertainties of being in a foreign environment and not knowing the language? What steps did you take to gradually overcome these obstacles?

How did you find the determination and motivation to keep pushing forward, even when progress seemed slow or challenging? What advice would you give to listeners who might be facing similar moments of discouragement?
    3. Embracing Your Strengths:

      • Each language learner brings their unique strengths and weaknesses to the process. Could you elaborate on a particular aspect of language learning that you excelled in? How did you leverage this strength to enhance your overall learning experience?

  • Language Learning With Angel
    Jun 25 2024

    Join us for another episode of the English With Grace podcast! Today, Angel joins us to discuss language learning. Angel is a French coach and lifelong language learner. We discuss different tips and tricks for language learning and share our own experiences with teaching and learning languages.


    Angel's Quote:

    Jack of all trades, master of none but still better than master of one.

    Meaning: A person who is competent in many different skills or has a wide range of knowledge may not be a master or expert in any single field, but they can still be more versatile and adaptable than someone who is solely specialized in one area.


    "L'esprit de l'escalier"
    The French expression "L'esprit de l'escalier" translates to "The spirit of the stairs" in English. It refers to the phenomenon of thinking of a clever or witty response too late, usually after leaving a situation or conversation. It's that feeling you get when you come up with the perfect comeback or response only when you've already left the room or the opportunity has passed, like when you're walking down the stairs and suddenly think of the perfect thing to say.


    You can find Angel on his website frenchfluency.net and on youtube https://youtube.com/@frenchfluency

    He is also on social media @frenchfluency.

  • The Power of Storytelling With Richard
    Jun 25 2024

    Welcome to the English with Grace podcast where we dive into the power of language through captivating stories and interviews. In this episode, we chat with Richard, who shares his experiences from popular TV shows like Grey's Anatomy, Chicago Med, This Is Us, and 24, and how storytelling influences communication. Discover the significance of storytelling in language learning and its impact on English language learners. Tune in for valuable insights and tips to enhance your language journey. Richard's Quote: "Hurry up and wait"

    Meaning: "Hurry up and wait" is an expression used when you need to do something quickly, but then you have to wait for a long time afterward. It's like rushing to get things done, but then you have to be patient and wait for the next steps or instructions. It's a bit like doing things in a hurry, but then you can't move forward right away. It can be frustrating, but it's a common phrase to describe situations where you need to be both fast and patient at the same time.
