E7 Accent Anxiety (with Franziska) - British English Podcast

English and Beyond: Intermediate to Advanced English Podcast

Welcome back to English and Beyond! In this episode, I'm thrilled to have my good friend Franziska join me as we delve into the world of accents in language learning. We first met at King's Cross Station in 2015, and today, Franziska shares her journey of mastering English while battling insecurities about her German accent.

We discuss why accents matter so much to language learners, how perceptions can impact confidence, and reminisce about our early language learning experiences, including our mutual struggles with Latin. Join us for a heartfelt and insightful conversation about the personal nature of accents, the joys and challenges of language learning, and embracing one's unique linguistic identity. Tune in for an engaging episode that offers both laughs and valuable lessons on mastering—and accepting—accents!
