Llama Llama Language Trauma (Ep. 10)

Language learning is hard on its own... but when we add to it the trauma that we can acquire through being beat down and unsupported by our teachers and peers, it becomes even harder. Sometimes previous trauma keeps us from starting a new language. And other times, our personal identities hold us back. This week, I want to talk about my struggle with trauma and how it's affected my study of Persian over the years.  Connect with me on social media: Instagram: @polygloterin Twitter: @polygloterin Facebook: /polygloterin YouTube: /PolyglotErin Graphics by Marissa (@multilingualmarissa)
