A close-up shot of a smiling woman with a dark-blonde asymmetrical bob haircut, blue eyes, and bold red lips. She is holding out a large ceramic coffee mug toward the camera in a warm, welcoming gesture. She is wearing a bright pink textured blazer over a soft lavender lace blouse. She is standing in a bright room with white walls, decorated with green tropical leaf artwork and a leafy garland in the background, creating a warm, creative, confident, and welcoming atmosphere.

Language identity coaching with Christina

You can listen to episode 312 here:

Christina and I met recently on LinkedIn and found that we have 3 languages in common! Rather than letting the easiest one for communication become the norm for us, we’re trying to use all of them … However, this podcast episode is only in English! I was curious about Christina’s work with language identity and I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore further on the podcast.

We talked about

  • Christina’s own language and identity story and how she became interested in her additional languages
  • The role of a language identity coach and what the term “language identity” means.
  • How we can deal with situations in another language that don’t come up in our first language.
  • The importance of positive associations with a language and how we can create new associations if our past experiences weren’t so good
  • Practical tips to explore and strengthen our language identities and incorporate the other language/s into our everyday lives.

Who is Christina?

Christina B. is a polyglot, language nerd, traveler, cat lover, theater and acting enthusiast who is deeply fascinated by the connection between language, identity, communication, and the human mind. As a Language Identity™ and Certified NeuroLanguage Coach®, she helps highly competent multilingual professionals, particularly non-native English teachers and coaches, stop undervaluing themselves, communicate with greater confidence and authority, become more visible, and catch up with the professional identity and skills they already possess.
