In the debut episode of my podcast, we dive into the beautifully layered intersections of love, language, and identity. Inspired by Lauren Collins’ New Yorker article, Learning to Love in French, this episode explores what happens when relationships cross linguistic borders.
We’ll talk about:
How learning your partner’s language can deepen intimacy—and complicate identity.
The so-called “soulmate-method” of language learning and why it’s not always as romantic as it sounds.
The cultural contrasts between French and English communication styles and how they shape relationships.
How language can reveal a “parallel life” or even an alter ego within ourselves.
Everyday misunderstandings in multilingual love that are “funny, frustrating, but always illuminating.”
Whether you’re a language nerd, a cross-cultural romantic, or someone fascinated by how communication shapes human connection, this episode will inspire you to think about love and language in a whole new way.
🎙️ Listen now to reflect on your own “lost in translation” moments and discover how love is always worth translating.
