Description
Today, I’m joined by Sukhi who has chosen the texts we’ll be talking about this week:
1) 4 Reasons Asking 'Where Are You From?' Is Offensive
https://www.huffpost.com/archive/ca/entry/asking-where-are-you-from-offensive_b_10802722
2) What’s Wrong with Asking “Where Are You From?”
https://hbr.org/2020/10/whats-wrong-with-asking-where-are-you-from
I recommend you read these articles before listening to the conversation (that’s what this podcast is all about, after all) but the chat will still make sense if you don’t!
Sukhi is an English teacher and coach and you can follow him on social media at @english.language.everyday
Sukhi and I are running a two-week coaching event in August 2022 and you can find out more here: https://www.rhiannonelt.com/interested-summer-re-set
