A personal conversation between Michelle and Yann (aka WeCultivate’s unpaid intern), recorded early in their journey of working together.
They reflect on Yann's experiences growing up in the Southwest region of France, learning languages without access to today’s technology, and navigating communication beyond the classroom.
The conversation explores common stereotyped assumptions about France, the gap between formal language education and real-life use, and how identity, confidence, and self-expression shift across languages — in work, relationships, and everyday life.
Like all WeCultivate episodes, this conversation isn’t about “mastering” fluency or “fixing” your language. It’s about lived experience, dialogue, and how we actually learn to communicate.
