Language (Re)Learning - An Adoptee Pod

This is the Language Re-Learning Podcast
Where we create podcast episodes for adoptees seeking to re-learn their mother tongues. Although my original goal was to teach language in small bits, I've decided this isn't best use of the podcast. Rather, this could be a space where we just discuss the basics of language learning in general, processing the emotions behind the process, and give study tips.

This podcast functions off the understanding that learning barriers, needs, and interests for adoptees are unique and our goal is to help adoptees pursue and unpack their experiences of language
