GIỚI THIỆU VỀ TẬP NÀY
In the Changing Scripts podcast episode, we talk to Taylor, an American Marketing Professional who grew up with a strong language learning curiosity. Mandarin Chinese was one of her first language loves and one that she has kept in contact with. I am using people analogies because Taylor used them in the interview and it is simply a brilliant way to see the time, energy and commitment that it takes not only to learn a language but to maintain it over the years as well. We also talked about her other language encounters, food that came with the languages she learned, her favorite language learning YouTube channels and so much language geeky more. Taylor was one of the first people I met on Twitter in the very supportive #Chinese language learning world and I am forever grateful for her encouragement. Thanks Taylor!
In accompanying Changing Scripts YouTUBE video I dive deeper into two aspects of Taylor’s interview:
1. Her languages as family member analogy and how it relates to my own language learning
2. Her desire to learn Ancient Chinese Literature and my own desire to learn slangish modern Mandarin Chinese so I can read social media posts online. I love how different and personal language learning can be and how people with such different goals can still learn from each other in the process.
