This episode delves into the profound connections between language, communication, and culture, highlighting the importance of moving beyond grammatical perfection to prioritize meaningful interaction. Our guest, Felly, shares her journey as a bilingual child in Canada, her experiences working and traveling across Australia, Asia, and Mexico, and her current life as an expat in semi-rural France. The conversation explores stereotypes tied to “English knowledge” and “accents” and emphasizes how language shapes social identity and inclusion. It also uncovers the complexities of navigating linguistic and cultural differences in everyday societies.
This is the first in a number of guest episodes this season meant to feature individuals outside the language and communication industry, who unequivocally grasp the complexities of multilingual/multicultural human interaction through their lived experiences. We hope that by listening, you will be challenged to rethink assumptions about “standard” language and work to embrace a more inclusive approach to communication.
