EP 69: The Tower of Babel | Navigating English and Cross-Cultural Language Differences Abroad
Manage episode 439763029 series 2917639
SHOW NOTES:
In this episode of (A)Broad in Education, Dr. Tiffany Lachelle dives into the complexities of language and how it surfaces as she lives and works abroad. We’ve all heard of the Tower of Babel, right? Well, that’s not just a story — it’s a daily reality for many of us EDPATS. English might be a global language, but trust me, not all English is created equal.
I’m sharing my personal experiences with cross-cultural communication—whether it’s navigating the nuances of British English, decoding accents from around the world, or simply dealing with those subtle differences that make conversations both fascinating and, let’s be real, occasionally frustrating.
If you’ve ever had to repeat yourself three times or found yourself smiling and nodding through a conversation you barely understood, this episode is for you!
Join me as we unpack the beauty and chaos of cross-cultural language encounters. Trust me, it’s something every expat and international professional can relate to!
