  • #04: "I'm part of a cool club"
    Sep 27 2024

    “You start by stealing language, and then start manipulating it”, says Carl. I couldn't agree more!

    Meet Carl, from @platform10english - Brain Friendly English Learning. In this episode, we philosophise about language and identity ("Am I allowed to be different versions of myself?"), how it impacts on our creativity and what’s important to remember when transforming your business into English!

    Action packed, so don’t miss it!

    P.S. I laughed so much thinking about this dynamite statement from Carl: “It’s worth learning French just to understand this album!” 👉 Bête et Méchant - Oldelaf... Are there any French speakers who can agree? Message me!

  • #02: "Creativity is courage"
    Sep 13 2024

    Maybe 'the click' is all about perception...

    In this week’s episode, we hear from Ana from @thetriple_t. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say she challenges the idea of 'the click'! I absolutely loved hearing her answers, and I'm sure you will too.

  • #01: “I am both languages!”
    Sep 6 2024

    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/

  • Trailer: The Moment it Clicked

    Have you ever felt 'the click'? When you go from feeling like a stranger to feeling like your true self in both languages. When you finally realise that you're no longer just speaking another language—you are you in it.

    Join your host, Janelle, as she dives into the minds of fellow multilinguals to uncover the myth of 'the click.' Is it real? Do others experience it too? Her discoveries might just spark your own "aha" moment.

    Together, they explore what it means to be creative and contemplate the curious question...Which of your languages is more creative?

    A podcast for language lovers and language learners alike.
