The Language Confidence Project

The Language Confidence Project

By Emily Richardson

Your daily boost of language courage for those who love languages, and those who really don’t, but have to learn one anyway.

No matter how much we like language learning, it’s hard to stay motivated for the long haul. We start comparing ourselves, the doubts crowd in, and we start wondering if we’re doing it all wrong.

Join Emily Richardson, the super colourful writer, coach and self-taught polyglot for a weekday dose of tips, tricks, encouragement, and permission to learn your language your way.

We can do this!

Introducing... Hopequesting

Introducing... Hopequesting

Hopequesting the podcast is coming soon!

The ultimate antidote to "what if it doesn't work out?"

I’ll be talking to artists, authors, entrepreneurs, comedians, campaigners and activists, and all sorts of courageous people who are going after big and often pathless goals.

It’ll be a really practical conversation that focuses on the HOW – how do we show up for our goals every day when actually, we don’t even want to get out of bed? HOW do we keep going when the rejections flood in, and HOW do we make decisions when we know we might not see the results for months or years from now?

If you are a creative, if you have big goals, and you’re striving to create a life full of meaning and impact, I think you’re gonna love it.

Join me on September 2nd for the first ever episode! I will see you there!

S6E30: These little steps really are paving the way

S6E30: These little steps really are paving the way

So often, we hear stories about how small changes and consistency lead to big changes, often really fast. And that can lead us to question ourselves and our to-do lists and wonder why we aren't getting our rapid transformation too. So today, in the 300th episode of the Language Confidence Project, I wanted to come in and remind you that YES, these small, daily tasks are exactly the steps that pave the way to our goal.

If you're really worried that things are really taking too long to pay off, check out this YouTube episode, or S2E2 of The Language Confidence Project.

S6E28: What secret rules are creeping into your studies?

We all have those little rules that we keep: the TV volume should always be an even number or an increment of five, sentences should never accidentally rhyme... but what happens when these creep into our studies? Today, I invite you to ask yourself, how many of these do you have, and are any of them actually getting in the way?
