Welcome back to English and Beyond! In this episode, I'm thrilled to have my good friend Franziska join me as we delve into the world of accents in language learning. We first met at King's Cross Station in 2015, and today, Franziska shares her journey of mastering English while battling insecurities about her German accent.

We discuss why accents matter so much to language learners, how perceptions can impact confidence, and reminisce about our early language learning experiences, including our mutual struggles with Latin. Join us for a heartfelt and insightful conversation about the personal nature of accents, the joys and challenges of language learning, and embracing one's unique linguistic identity.
