Rethinking Success in Language Learning

In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle from We Cultivate—a trainer, podcast host, and multilingual communicator helping advanced English users communicate more effectively in global workplaces.

We talk about:

• Why fluent speakers can still struggle to be understood
• The “native speaker fallacy” and why it’s so pervasive
• How identity and culture shape the way we use language
• Questions to ask when choosing a language coach or trainer
• The importance of taking ownership of your learning journey

Whether you're working in another language or supporting learners who are, this conversation is a thought-provoking look at what really matters in communication.
