Why language fairy tales make you lie to yourself, too

In today's video, I just wanted to pop in and remind you not to doodle in the blank spaces left by oversimplified language learning narratives.

What language learner fairy tales do you hear all the time?

It's good to see a video from you - I haven't seen you on my fyp for a while! ❤

Yay! I took a bit of a break over the summer but I have been posting again since the beginning of September! So glad this one popped up again for you! How have you been? :D

[@neurodivergentlily]

@@thelangconprojectpodcast heck yeah for a break, those are so necessary. I've been okay - got back to college and am a Spanish language peer tutor! It's so fun to work with others in learning another language :D

[@neurodivergentlily]

@@thelangconprojectpodcast how are you?

[@thelangconprojectpodcast]

@@neurodivergentlily That's amazing! And you learn so much from helping other people too! I have literally just got home from a Spanish Speaking Group here in my city :D It's been so much fun!

[@neurodivergentlily]

@@thelangconprojectpodcast heck yeah!

I only let body lotion permeate my skin. The rest of my life experiences will permeate my brain at my own pace. I have come to find out that language learning is a journey. Getting there more quickly than others doesn’t mean we will have a better quality of life overall. I’m happy to have Emily here encourage us on the journey.

Thank you so much for your comment, Chris! Big goals are always SUCH a journey!

[@chrisbunka]

@@thelangconprojectpodcast No worries. Your YT content is easy to compliment. There is nothing I can take issue with.
