Why learn languages?

Why learn languages?

It’s been a while since I posted anything! I’m back with a new episode from the podcast Hoshirio. This season, we’re welcoming friends and family to share ideas and personal stories worth spreading in our warm Hoshirio community.

In this new episode, I am joined by my long-time friend Kaisa — a sociolinguistics researcher with a PhD, a post-doctoral research associate at Cardiff University, and a parent raising multilingual children.

Kaisa shares her research, her personal journey, and her heartfelt insight into what language learning really means.

By the end of the conversation, you might see that learning languages isn’t just about convenience or education — it’s an act of compassion toward yourself and the world around you.

Tune in and be inspired!

between people.
between organisations.
between different ways of seeing the world.
