Language Is More Than Words
Quiero Un Panino Con Cheese: A Podcast for TCKs and Multicultural Families

"What if learning a language wasn't really about vocabulary and grammar?

In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Michelle from WeCultivate Training and Media to explore the deeper layers of language—how history, identity, culture, bias, and belonging shape the way we communicate.

Michelle shares her multicultural upbringing, her journey from UX designer to language educator, and why she believes language learning is just as much about psychology and sociology as it is about memorizing words.

Together we unpack why speaking the same language doesn't always mean understanding each other, how stereotypes influence the way we judge accents and language ability, and why curiosity is one of the most powerful communication tools we have."

Raised with Mandarin-speaking grandparents and immersed in both cultural worlds from early childhood, she shares her lived experience of navigating languages, identities, and expectations as a child.

We explore what felt natural, what felt confusing, and what kind of support she needed from the adults around her while growing up multilingual."
