1 Battle Camp S1: Reality Rivalries with Dana Moon & QT 1:00:36
Speaking Imperfectly, Belonging Fully
Manage episode 477125783 series 2540922
Do you speak more than one language—but feel truly fluent in none? You’re not alone. In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, Saadia Khan is joined by Angela Lin, founder of Real You Mandarin, to explore how language shapes our identities, relationships, and sense of belonging. Angela, a Taiwanese American polyglot, believes language learning should center on cultural connection—not grammatical perfection.
We unpack what it means to “feel” fluent, how multilinguals navigate identity through code-switching, and why speaking imperfectly can still be powerful. Angela shares how her platform is changing the game for Mandarin learners who want to express themselves authentically—not just pass a language test.
If you've ever lived between languages or felt like your voice changes depending on the one you speak, this conversation will hit home.
Bonus: Angela is offering Immigrantly listeners an exclusive 10% discount on all Real You Mandarin courses with code immigrantly10.
