Listen "#7: Can we express ourselves fully in a foreign language?"
Episode Synopsis
Obviously Two Minds Different Times is an English podcast and I (Leona) am not talking in my mother tongue. We are therefore challenging the question if we can fully express ourselves while speaking a foreign language? Does this have an impact on how our personality comes across? Are we able to fully express our emotions? Be excited to listen to an interesting thought experiment and learn more about how language and expressing emotions are connected. By the way: Julia will also share about her bi-lingual marriage & how this also impacts raising her kids. She gives very personal insights - so interesting! 🤗
Question To Reflect About 💭
How does talking in a foreign language influence how you express yourself? What do you do differently compared to your mother tongue?
