Passion for languages, learning and podcasts: A chat with Michelle Parkin

In this episode, we’re speaking with Michelle Parkin, a member of the Language Lovers AU Community! Michelle is a passionate teacher and language enthusiast, who has studied German, French, Italian and Portuguese, and LOVES listening to podcasts!

Michelle tells us about her language learning journey over the years, from learning at school, independent language learning, returning to study languages at university level and her teaching experiences as well. We talk about the many (and varied) resources that she has tried, tested and enjoyed at different learning stages to achieve specific language learning goals.
