In this "In the Wild" mini-series, your guide Emily (linguist, PhD) breaks down why hearing your target language “in the wild” may be different from how you learned it. It all boils down to 3 main things: (1) idiomatic expressions, (2) sound blending, and (3) dialectal diversity. In this podcast episode (Part 1 of 3), you’ll learn everything you need to know about idiomatic expressions: what they are, why they matter, and what you can do about them to reach your fluency goals.Sign up here for more FREE language learning content (like the awesome goal-setting worksheet we mentioned in the episode): https://info.mangolanguages.com/glc-signupIf you’d like the blog article that accompanies this episode, click here: https://blog.mangolanguages.com/why-hearing-your-target-language-in-the-wild-may-be-different-than-how-you-learned-it-part-1-idiomatic-expressionsWe also invite you to check out our website at: https://mangolanguages.com/ and follow us on social media @MangoLanguages.
