About this episode
In this episode, I answer a listener question with the listener on the line!
My friend Nicky Roberts (near-miss Welsh learner of the year 2018) meet up with me at last year's Welsh national festival and during our long chat he asked this question:
When do you stop being a learner and consider yourself a speaker?
Is it a problem to hold on to your identity as a "learner" and hide from speaking your target language?
This week, I brought Nicky to the show to talk about it.
Thank you to Nicky for this episode introduction.
