Description

Don't forget that German Uncovered is open for enrolment - check it out here (https://school.fluentlanguage.co.uk/p/german-uncovered/?preview=logged_out). The course closes on April 11.
This episode, I'm bringing you an interview with experimental psychologist and author Dr Roger Kreuz. Along with Richard Roberts, Roger is the co-author of my favourite language learning book ever, Becoming Fluent (https://www.worldcat.org/title/becoming-fluent-how-cognitive-science-can-help-adults-learn-a-foreign-language/oclc/1041131561?loc=).
“People think about fluency as perfection as opposed to something that’s achievable by almost anybody with some effort. There really is a different way of thinking about it that makes all this much more achievable.”
Roger Kreuz
I've previously raved about this book on my blog (see link section), and in this interview I was excited to get the opportunity to discuss the psychology of language learning with Roger.

Check out the Fluent Language courses (https://www.fluentlanguage.co.uk/my-courses) It is worth clarifying that we actively want to support anti-racism and will highlight and advocate for the equality of all. Language learning means committing to tolerance of other world views, and this open mind is a core value for me. This topic deserves well considered words so here are the best Kerstin managed to put together. (https://www.fluent.show/blacklivesmatter)
