Episode 80: Celebrating Your Wins!
<p>In this Season 4 finale of Love, Joy, and Languages podcast, I share and celebrate language learning wins from listeners across the globe. Real life stories from real life language learners, inspiring us to see every bit of progress along our language journeys. In this episode, you'll hear stories from four language learners who recognize a variety of wins in their language lives. The achievements they've shared with me for this episode are inspiring for language learners of all types, ages, and levels. The languages they're celebrating include Spanish, Esperanto, Chinese, Catalan, and Occitan, plus my own wins regarding German and Italian. Some of these language lovers are still at the beginning of learning their languages, and others are futher along, but one common theme is that they see the value in celebrating the multitude of accomplishments along the way.</p> <p>This episode is made for you, my listeners. Every win we have matters. No achievement is too small. Every success is significant, and every win is worth celebrating. Join me in today's season finale episode by cheering on those who shared their stories with me and for everyone else out there working on your new language. Take a moment to reflect on your own wins, and celebrate them! Feel the pride. Give yourself a round of applause. Brag about it on social media. You're doing great, and you can be proud of yourself and your achievements.</p> <p><strong>Instagram or X accounts for those who shared success stories in this episode:</strong><br> IG: @lafamillelyons, @vanessapatriciaoh<br> X: @martinrue, @TimothyELDougl1, @kubacki__</p> <p><strong>Where to find me:</strong><br> <a href="https://lovejoyandlanguages.com/" rel="nofollow">Love, Joy, and Languages Blog</a><br> All podcast episodes can be found here: <a href="http://www.lovejoyandlanguagespodcast.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lovejoyandlanguagespodcast.com/</a>.<br> Instagram: @love.joyandlanguages<br> X (Twitter): @LoveJoy_Lang</p> <p><strong>More language learning podcasts for you to check out:</strong><br> <a href="https://anchor.fm/emily-richardson1" rel="nofollow">The Language Confidence Project</a>, by Emily Richardson<br> <a href="https://speakingtonguespodcast.com/" rel="nofollow">Speaking Tongues Podcast</a>, by Elle Charisse<br> <a href="https://howtolearnalanguage.fireside.fm/" rel="nofollow">How to Learn a Language</a>, by Lindsay Williams<br> <a href="https://thefutureisbilingual.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">The Future is Bilingual</a>, by Heather <br> <a href="https://languagepreservation.mykajabi.com/podcasts/talking-to-grandma" rel="nofollow">Talking to Grandma</a>, by Veronica Benavides<br> <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alexandria-robinson2" rel="nofollow">Insecurities About Languages</a>, by Alexandria Robinson<br> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6v0GrjOA5UfLRd5vilj5lF" rel="nofollow">Shhh, I'm Learning!</a> by Martha Summerlin<br> <a href="https://www.fluent.show/" rel="nofollow">The Fluent Show</a>, by Kerstin Cable<br> <a href="https://actualfluency.com/actual-fluency-language-learning-podcast/" rel="nofollow">Actual Fluency</a>, by Kris Broholm</p> <p><strong>My favorite Italian podcasts:</strong><br> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0uj2dwVPkz1QMqLgalRv48" rel="nofollow">Il paradiso é qui</a>, by Gianluca Gotto<br> <a href="https://simonepols.com/simple-italian-podcast/" rel="nofollow">Simple Italian Podcast</a>, by Simone Pols<br> <a href="https://www.stivaleitaliano.com/copy-of-home-1" rel="nofollow">Stivale Italiano</a>, by Alessandro and Carolina<br> <a href="https://anchor.fm/vaporetto-italiano/episodes" rel="nofollow">Vaporetto Italiano Podcast</a>, by Francesco Cositore<br> <a href="https://www.teacherstefano.com/podcast" rel="nofollow">The Teacher Stefano Show</a>, by Stefano<br> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5iJsp9pgAEW8UPkDfQQeg4" rel="nofollow">Psicologia per eroi</a>, by Dott.

Episode 79: A Joyful Chat with a Special Guest Co-Host
<p>I invited a very special language learning and language loving friend to co-host this episode with me and chat all about the joys of language learning. This is a very familiar voice in the language learning community, and it's such a pleasure to have Kerstin Cable of Fluent Language and The Fluent Show on Love, Joy, and Languages! We had an absolute blast talking about loving languages and finding joy in learning them. This chat is extra special for me because I don't think this show would exist without Kerstin and her <a href="https://www.kerstincable.com/podcasting101" rel="nofollow">Podcasting 101 course</a>. Big thanks to Kerstin for putting so much goodness out into the world! </p> <p>In today's episode, Kersin and I talk about celebrating our language achievements, the value of self-work and appreciating your own personal journey, language exams and the excitement of the process, lots of German language, the link between language and culture, Kerstin teaches me a bit Welsh (you'll see why this language can easily become an obsession!), and Kerstin shares some of her favorite language things and people.</p> <p>Learning a language is a long road, and there are so many challenges along the way, but something that keeps us in the language learning world is all the joy we find in the process and the community. I hope you enjoy listening in to my chat with Kerstin, and I hope it reminds you of all the exciting things you find in your own language life.</p> <p><strong>The Fluent Show episodes mentioned in this episode:</strong><br> <a href="https://www.fluent.show/243" rel="nofollow">Words of the Year 2023</a><br> <a href="https://www.fluent.show/240" rel="nofollow">The Farewell Episode: The Joy of Finishing Good Things</a><br> <a href="https://www.fluent.show/8" rel="nofollow">I'm Not Dead Yet, So I'd Like to Keep Learning: Interview with German Learner Randy</a><br> Reviews of the Year with Shannon Kennedy: <a href="https://www.fluent.show/234" rel="nofollow">2021</a>, <a href="https://www.fluent.show/203" rel="nofollow">2020</a>, <a href="https://www.fluent.show/166" rel="nofollow">2019</a>, <a href="https://www.fluent.show/118" rel="nofollow">2018</a><br> <a href="https://www.fluent.show/172" rel="nofollow">Marc Okrand on Creating the Klingon Language</a><br> <a href="https://www.fluent.show/158" rel="nofollow">Interview with Language Creator David Peterson (Game of Thrones, Dune, The 100, Doctor Strange)</a><br> <a href="https://www.fluent.show/209" rel="nofollow">Good bye Chemistry, hello Linguistics! with Sarah F.

Episode 78: Affirmations for Language Learners
<p>Affirmations, or statements that affirm positive beliefs to you about you, are an excellent way to build yourself up. I use affirmations in many areas of my life, both general and specific, inlcuding language learning. They help remind me of my truth and keep me aligned with my morals and identity. Affirmations aren't about lying to ourselves or trying to fake it 'til we make it. They're about affirming true statements that we believe, at our core, so that we don't forget who we are, and that help us act in accordance with our true selves.</p> <p>Today's episode is full of meditative affirmations geared toward language learners. Have you ever considered what you believe about yourself as a language learner? Especially when things are stressful, and we feel like we're failing, we start to believe things that aren't true. We start to believe that we can't learn a language, that we're failures, that we're lazy, and so much more. These negative thoughts, while they feel true in the moment, aren't our real truths. Affirmations help keep us grounded in who we really are and in what we're really capable of. They pull us out of the negative spiral more quickly and remind us that negative moments don't define us. </p> <p>I hope you enjoy today's episode and are able to find many affirmations that you know are true to you. Take what you know to be true, what you really believe, and let that be a foundation of truth that you can tell yourself always, especially when you start feeling out of alignment with who you know yourself to be. Write out more affirmations that you know are true, and don't forget to be kind to yourself. </p> <p><strong>If you want to read more about affirmations, here are a few sites to get you started:</strong><br> <a href="https://www.mindtools.com/air49f4/using-affirmations" rel="nofollow">Using Affirmations</a>, from Mind Tools<br> <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/do-affirmations-work" rel="nofollow">Positive Affirmations: Too Good to Be True?</a> by Crystal Raypole<br> <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/smart-relationships/201403/affirmations-the-why-what-how-and-what-if" rel="nofollow">Affirmations: The Why, What, How, and What If?</a> by Kathryn Lively, PhD</p> <p><strong>Where to find me:</strong><br> <a href="https://lovejoyandlanguages.com/" rel="nofollow">Love, Joy, and Languages Blog</a><br> All podcast episodes can be found at <a href="http://www.lovejoyandlanguagespodcast.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lovejoyandlanguagespodcast.com/</a>.<br> Instagram: @love.joyandlanguages<br> X (Twitter): @LoveJoy_Lang</p>
