What if the problem isn’t your grammar—but the rules you’ve been handed?
In this episode, Michelle is joined by Christina J., founder of LoveToLingo, for a real talk on how language learning often leaves us frustrated, confused, and stuck. Drawing from over 20 years of teaching and learning, Christina shares how her personal and professional journey led to a new way of thinking about language education.

And YOU get to shape it.
