We identify as... (Pride 2021, Ep. 3)
Welcome to Pride 2021!
This year for Pride Month, I wanted to do a series of episodes dedicated to my community, the LGBTQIA+ community, aka the Queer Community. In this third part, I sit down with @multilingualmarissa to discuss the survey they conducted of the language-learning community (with the help of the wonderful @the.far.see). Together we dive into queer identities among language learners, representation, and feelings of belonging to the larger community. You can check out the full details of the survey at http://relearnalanguage.com/who-are-language-learners/.
If you missed it, Marissa and I also did an Instagram Live event before recording this episode where we discussed queer-centered spaces in the language-learning community. You can check it out on the IGTV section of their IG profile.
Stay tuned throughout this month for more queer-focused episodes and other great Pride Month content for queer language learners!

Neither, Nor (Pride 2021 Ep. 2)
Welcome to Pride 2021!
This year for Pride Month, I wanted to do a series of episodes dedicated to my community, the LGBTQIA+ community, aka the Queer Community. In this second part, I talk about grammatical gender as a concept, gendered language, non-binary pronouns, and how we can appropriately navigate the difficulties of gendered language, and de-gendering language, as language learners and users. Stay tuned throughout this month for more queer-focused episodes, an Instagram Live event with @multilingualmarissa, and other great Pride Month content and events for queer language learners!

Customer Reviews
Very knowledgeable, please add produce more
Erin is very very knowledgeable and I hope she approves more podcast. If there’s not a lot of podcast regarding the Persian languageFrom a linguistic point of you so this is treasure to me thank you Erin
Good listening!
Erin is very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. As a fellow language nerd who hops around with languages, it is fun to hear someone else who is sort of language chaotic too. Keep doing your thing!
