She speaks Korean, English, French, and Yoruba. She currently lives in Oklahoma.</strong></p> <p><strong>She is the host of The More Sibyl Podcast, a weekly podcast for Blacks and Asians, and those who love them. It is a platform about culture against the backdrop of important issues such as identity, acculturation, travels, preserving cultural values, mental health issues, heart stories, and so much more.</strong></p> <p><strong>In this particular episode, Mo shares how she learnt the Korean language on Coursera and she also talks a bit about what she loves about the Korean culture. Trust me, after listening to this episode you will definitely fall in love with the Korean language and probably add it to your language learning bucket list.</strong></p> <p><strong>To connect with Motolani, you can</strong></p> <p><strong>Visit her website:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.mosibyl.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.mosibyl.com</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Chat with her on WhatsApp: </strong><a href="https://chat.whatsapp.com/GJ5yKBcu2QoGgQRqASTxL6" target="_blank"><strong>https://chat.whatsapp.com/GJ5yKBcu2QoGgQRqASTxL6</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Email: </strong><a href="mailto:talktomo@mosibyl.com" target="_blank"><strong>talktomo@mosibyl.com</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow her on Instagram: </strong><a href="http://www.instagram.com/mosibyl" target="_blank"><strong>www.instagram.com/mosibyl</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review too!</strong></p> <p><strong>If you want to learn another language:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Start now!</strong></li> <li><strong>Practice daily!</strong></li> <li><strong>Don't stop!</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>This month, we are learning Swahili in the LANGUAGES AND BOOKS private community on Facebook, request to join us or click the link below:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://languagesandbooks.disha.page/" target="_blank"><strong>https://languagesandbooks.disha.page/</strong></a></p>
