This might be my most powerful episode yet. In this episode I list reasons why language learning is a great tool against depression. I also share some tips from my personal experience and my personal back-story.
Language learning: A great tool against depression
This is a unique episode, and I'm fairly confident at least half of you out there won't like it. That's okay because the other half will hopefully love it.
In the episode I share my personal road to discovering the language learning community and my top reasons for why language learning is a great weapon against depression.
I also share a few of my own experiences learning languages while depressed and what considerations you have to make.
This is a very intense episode, but also part of my new philosophy of KEEPING IT REAL.
This is an important topic to me, so I hope you'll share the episode or the contents with a friend who might need it.
