Is it true that you become a different person when you speak another language? 🤨In Episode 69, I’m joined by my student Chris (from the USA) for a very 'spicy' conversation about a topic I usually avoid: Bad Words.
As many of you know, I don’t use bad words in Spanish, it just doesn't feel like me! But for some reason, swearing in English feels... easier? Less heavy? Chris and I dive into this linguistic mystery and compare how Mexicans and Americans handle 'forbidden' vocabulary.

In this episode, I talk about my experience learning English, not from methods or tips, but from what it actually felt like to learn another language.I share the fear of making mistakes, the frustration of understanding but not being able to respond, the mental exhaustion, and the moments when learning English affected my confidence.This is not an episode about how to learn English.It’s an honest conversation about identity, patience, vulnerability, and the invisible emotional process behind learning a new language.If you’re learning any language — and you’ve ever felt behind, tired, or not good enough, this episode is for you.Thank you for listening 💛
