Episode Synopsis

🌍 Welcome to the very first episode of Diaries of a Polyglot!In this origin story, I share the winding, multilingual road that led to Diaries of a Polyglot. From childhood surrounded by music and stories, to language loss and reclamation, to solo adventures in Brazil, Ghana, and beyond—this episode is a love letter to curiosity, culture, and how language shapes identity.You’ll hear how a grandmother-figure from my chosen family sparked my love for Spanish, why re-learning Twi became healing, and how teaching myself Portuguese during lockdown changed everything.It’s personal, a little nostalgic, and full of heart.🎶 Bonus Playlist – Languages I Lived InI curated a playlist of songs tied to the languages and memories featured in this episode.From Puerto Rico to Brazil, and beyond. This is the soundtrack to my story. 🎵 ⁠Listen to the playlist here⁠💬 Let’s Stay ConnectedIf this episode made you feel seen, inspired, or just a little more curious—leave a high rating and review.It helps others find their way here, too!Follow the journey:📲 ⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠TikTok⁠ | ⁠Blue Sky⁠ → ⁠@dopthepod⁠✨ Next Episode Teaser:We’re diving into music and memory—how sound helps us feel, remember, and connect across cultures.
