Most of us learn a foreign language so we can communicate with other people but if we are an introvert, it can feel really challenging to socialise with new people, make mistakes and express our big ideas in another language
As an introvert and language learner myself, I know what it's like to feel shy and afraid to speak English in public.
In this episode, I will share some personal stories about my own journey as an introvert while living abroad and speaking a foreign language.
I will also share some recommendations on how you can study English and communicate best as an introvert.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
