Fluent•ish, the Podcast
Little Crab Educational Press is thrilled to launch Fluent•ish, the Podcast - a fun, no-snobbery space for language learners (👋 hey there bilinguals, multilinguals, and aspiring polyglots!), teachers, and parents raising kids in more than one language. Each episode tackles real language-learning struggles (“the Barrier”), with expert insights and actionable solutions (“the Blueprint”) from Rebecca.
We address common questions like: "What if I pick the ‘wrong’ language?", "What if I’m just not good at this?", "Which accent is ‘right’?", and so much more!
Then we wrap up with wins and woes in language learning and culture (Oh La La or 不不不!), leaving you with a Joy Builder boost to fuel your journey.
Tune in and start learning smarter!
