In this episode, we talk to Taylor, an American Marketing Professional who grew up with a strong language learning curiosity. Mandarin Chinese was one of her first language loves and one that she has kept in contact with. I am using people analogies because Taylor used them in the interview and it is simply a brilliant way to see the time, energy and commitment that it takes not only to learn a language but to maintain it over the years as well.
We also talked about her other language encounters, food that came with the languages she learned, her favorite language learning YouTube channels and so much language geeky more. Taylor was one of the first people I met on Twitter in the very supportive #Chinese language learning world and I am forever grateful for her encouragement. Thanks Taylor!
