Welcome back! It is SEASON 2 YALL! I am your host Alexandria of the Insecurities about Language Podcast. And this season I will continue to talk about individual language journeys, especially mine since I failed to do that last year. I will be diving more into the Death of Language within families and getting my family involved, so ya’ll can hear more about their stories. I will be interviewing folks about Bilingualism and Linguistic and those topics will be little mini-series within this season! and of course anyone who wants to have a conversation about language and what it means to them and how it relates to their life.

I also want to invite those who would like to answer the question: WHAT DOES THE DEATH OF LANGUAGE WITHIN FAMILIES MEAN TO YOU?

There will be a link in the show notes for you to provide your answer.

Let me know if:

o Yes, share my name and answer

o only share answer

o don’t share

Death Of Language Answers!

For this episode, I will talk about my goals, and if you have been following me on IG during January you would’ve noticed that I’ve been doing this 30 day speaking challenge from my online PT program. I’ll talk about how it went and what those results came to be!

The GOALS are pretty straightforward, I don’t want to overcomplicate it, especially since I'm just getting back into it…

1. I will be doing monthly updates on my progress, and it will involve some speaking in Portuguese.

2. I want to document what I’m using and how I’m using it.

3. I want to start reading, probably will start in April 2023.

4. I’d love to do a day in my life type of podcast… (said it was 5th on the podcast lol)

5. I’d love to have one podcast interview in Portuguese and of course it’ll be easy enough for me to get through. - What topics would you want to hear in Portuguese?

6. My last goal is to test out of the A1 category.
