The Fluent Show

Learn a Language...Or Maybe Three! The Fluent Show is on a mission to help you get excited about language learning. We learn languages every day in our lives, and have learnt over 15 different languages between us. We share stories, news, tips, and ideas that will make you fluent...eventually. Subscribe to the show today to get your regular dose of Fluent love. It is worth clarifying that we actively want to support anti-racism and will highlight and advocate for the equality of all. Language learning means committing to tolerance of other world views, and this open mind is a core value for me. This topic deserves well considered words so here are the best Kerstin managed to put together. (https://www.fluent.show/blacklivesmatter)

  8. Feminism in Our Language World (Panel Discussion)

    04/04/2022

    Feminism in Our Language World (Panel Discussion)

    Today I’m bringing you a special, a recording of an expert panel discussion I moderated at the recent Women in Language conference, entitled *“Feminism in Our Language World”. * This is a top quality conversation I think you should hear. It isn’t a talk about how to learn vocabulary or find conversation partners in some kind of feminist way. It’s an examination of the world we live in, and how it may impact us as humans, not just language learners. > "Feminism helps me to get space to just say what I want to say and not feel like I can't say my message." > "A lot of people still see "feminist" as the extreme end of the spectrum and so are reluctant to use the term to describe themselves." > "I can talk all day about the intersectionality of all things. But when you're not in a place where you can make mistakes, we're not in a place where you can make change." > "To become the best version of yourself, you need to stand for the humanity of someone else." I am grateful to Lindsay and Shannon as well as our panelists Archana Parmar, Chesline Pierre Paul, Martina Gerdts, and Samantha Lassaux, for allowing me to put this audio out on the podcast.
