Hello Language Lovers! Thank you for joining me for this episode of Speaking Tongues, the podcast in conversation with multilinguals. This week, I’m joined by Emily of Language Travel Adoptee to talk about her language story and her journey of connecting to Mandarin Chinese

In this episode Emily talks to us about:

💫 Her adoption story and her journey to deciding that she was ready to share it with the world

💫 A reluctance she faced in connecting to her past and to the Chinese language

💫 Healing and feeling her way through feelings of grief, shame and loss, turning it into into her power, her voice and her platform

💫 Being authentic and helping other language learners navigate mental health

💫 Taking initial steps in learning Mandarin and what she’s excited to learn on this journey.

Big thank you to Emily for sharing your story, for being vulnerable and for all the work you do around identity, confidence, and mental health.
