After two weeks travelling around Japan, I was reminded what it feels like to operate in a language you don't understand - and how uncomfortable that can be.
In this episode, I share a few stories from my trip, including getting lost on the Kyoto tram system, chatting with strangers in a traditional onsen, and using a tiny piece of Japanese that went a surprisingly long way.
I talk about why language learning is about much more than grammar and vocabulary, and why confidence often comes from trying to communicate before you feel completely ready.
If you've ever felt frustrated that you can't express yourself as clearly, naturally, or confidently in English as you can in your first language, this episode is for you.
