Will also attended the retreat as an organiser and in this episode, we chat about what the experience of deep immersion was like and how we plan to make these camps bigger and better in the future.

In today's episode, I'm chatting with German teacher Kris of Deutsch mit Kris. Kris shares her story of how she got into the German language as a high school student from the Southern United States. She had the typical story many of us know growing up in a place where only one language is spoken, taking a few years of language in school, and performing really well but not being able to speak the language. Yet something happened for Kris that sparked her interest in German, and luckily, she followed that curiosity all the way to living and studying in Germany and then to becoming a teacher of the language. But her path wasn't that simple. Kris shares many of the struggles she experienced having a high level of academic German but still not feeling like she could speak it at all. She tells a wonderful story of how she grew into her advanced level German, gaining ability and confidence as she found a way to force herself into speaking situations; she explains how her experiences in language classrooms shaped her entire teaching philosophy and methods; and she talks a bit about what she does to continue learning and expanding her German while living in the country as an advanced speaker and teacher of the language. We cover being a science/math person who also loves languages, how cultural misunderstandings affect when and how we speak our languages, and helpful versus unhelpful feedback from others. Kris has such an honest and down-to-earth approach to language learning, and listening to her share how she worked to overcome her own hurdles and then translated those into helping her students is so exciting. I love her approach, I love her transparency in her own journey, and I have no doubt you all will enjoy it, too. Kris's online info is below, so you can connect with her, nerd out over languages and math with her, and share her German course with anyone you know who can benefit from her work.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 139 | As the global expanse shrinks with the use of technology, either through the ability to travel to other countries or visit new people ‘face-to-face' on computers or phones. The barrier of time and distance is dissolving with one remaining hurdle: language. Language, its something we all learn and as we grow we realize learning a language can be more difficult than reciting words.  That's where Ideal School comes in with dual language immersion. Join Janna as she and Eric Franzen, co-creator of Ideal School discuss dual language immersion and the benefits for your student in learning a second language and creating a community, virtually and in-person.

In this third episode of "Good Advice Gone Wrong," a segment in which I highlight some really good language learning advice that can also go wrong, I talk about moving to a country where your target language is spoken. I hear (or read on social media) language learners giving this advice almost daily, and I can't deny that it's amazing for immersion and natural input. There are so many benefits to learning a language while abroad, but it isn't a guaranteed path to success. Not only that, but moving abroad isn't possible for everyone, which can create a sense of missing out on some magic key to success. I started learning Italian after we moved to Italy (literally, I looked up the word for "thank you" while I was waiting at baggage claim and realized I didn't know how to say anything!), and most of my German acquisition has been while living in Germany. I can't say that moving to the countries hasn't helped me or that I've completely failed, but I can definitely say that in-country immersion hasn't been the missing piece to my language puzzle that effortlessly gave me the language. Today I share three ways in which moving to a country of your target language could go wrong. Living abroad is something I wish everyone had the means and opportunity to do. Expanding our horizons, worldviews, mentalities, and experiencing and appreciating other cultures are invaluable. But when it comes to learning a language in a country where it's spoken, it isn't always rainbows and butterflies. There are still challenges, it can still be a long and difficult road, and living abroad isn't a guarantee that one will learn the local language. Things like culture shock, native-language bubbles, and our own personal roadblocks are just three things that can cause this good advice to go wrong. It's important not to restrict ourselves to taking advice exactly as-is and putting too much stock into one single method being the magic trick to acquiring and speaking the language of our desires. I also give some words specifically to those who are living abroad and find that the natural immersion just doesn't seem to be helping them improve their languages. I, too, have this experience, and I completely understand. I share my thoughts on what you can do to overcome the roadblocks you've found (some of which I'm currently trying out myself), and hopefully it sparks some ideas of your own. I also speak to those who want to move or travel abroad but aren't yet able to do so. Moving country takes time, money, and a lot of sacrifice. It really isn't simple advice, even though many toss it around as such. I see you. I know the stranded and frustrated feelings of not being able to be where you want to be. For you, I also spend some time giving my most creative ideas for building an immersive environment right where you are for little-to-no money, and I hope you get some fantastic ideas of your own that allow you to connect with the language and culture of your dreams. There are countless methods for learning a language, and I believe that all of them are good, but they aren't all good for everyone. Instead of just giving language learning advice, this recurring segment focuses on reasons specific pieces of good advice may not work for everyone. So if this method isn't for you, that's okay. I love sharing this segment in order to spark creative ideas for how we can mold advice and shape it into something that does work for us, if desired, and I hope to inspire you to discover your own creative, personalized language learning journey.

Studies have shown that children who are in language immersion programs through the elementary years end up becoming more proficient in their home language as they get older, and they also experience the benefits of cultural awareness. In today's episode, I'm chatting with Lindsey Barnes, Executive Director, and David Hernández, Elementary Teacher Leader, of The Dahlia School in San Francisco.

A listener reached out on Instagram and asked if I would do an episode on textbook learning vs. real life. Having lived in Italy for 4 years and Germany for a 1 1/2 years to-date, I have experience learning both Italian and German while living in those countries, and I've also used language textbooks, as well as taken textbook-based classes in each language. I decided to present this topic in a way that highlights things I like about both learning methods. I know there's often a bias or perceived advantage to learning in-country, and even though there so many benefits to learning a language in a country where it's spoken, there are also so many frustrations. Of course, the same can be said for textbook learning. What's really important is to remember that whichever way we learn, given our time, desires, or life situation is valid and useful, one of the best things we can do is find value in and extract everything we can from the resources to which we have access. I'd love to hear from you, too! Do you have experience learning a language by living in the country? What did you like about it? What was most frustrating? Are you a textbook learner? What benefits can you find in this method? What do you feel is still missing?

In 2008, Utah embarked on an educational experiment with the Legislature's approval of funding to create dual language immersion programs in French, Spanish, and Chinese. Canyons District was an early adopter. Our first immersion classes opened in 2009, and today, more than 10 percent of our 33,000 students are learning a world language using this innovative model of instruction. Administrators, students, and parents say the hugely popular program is the best way to learn another language. More than that, being multilingual boosts students' academic performance, and the cognitive skills and cultural knowledge students gain are in high demand by colleges and employers.

In this episode, I sit down with guest Sarah Knight from Language Immersion Abroad, who shares her experience navigating life as an immersion program student in France. Sarah shares her discovery of immersion as a way to learn a language and how being part of a host family in the U.S. inspired her to take the immersion leap for herself. She brings us through the emotional and linguistic process of living in an intense immersive environment, including unexpected challenges and how she worked through them without losing herself. Even though our immersive experiences are different, Sarah skillfully describes thoughts and feelings about living abroad that I have never been able to put into words, showing that we're never alone in our experiences and that tapping into our subset of the language community to share stories and experiences is valuable, inspiring, and healing. While her experience was in an immersion program in the country, Sarah explains the concept of an immersion spectrum, allowing me to identify my experience along the spectrum. We compare and contrast various aspects of our diverse experiences learning a language while living abroad, talk about the role of family in our language choices, and what we envision for the language community. Sarah is on a mission to use her experience as an immersion student to build support and community for others going through or thinking about immersion. She values connection within the language community and wants to share all the facets of language immersion, both the exciting aspects and the challenges, in order to support and build strength amongst those living abroad. WHERE TO FIND SARAH: You can follow more of Sarah's journey on Instagram @languageimmersionabroad, where she shares insights, tips, and stories about living immersed.

Catalonia has had an educational policy of linguistic immersion for over 30 years. In other words, teaching in schools is done through Catalan. Gerard Escaich Folch and Guifré Jordan join Lorcan Doherty to explain how the system works, the rationale behind it, and why it could now be in jeopardy. We get the opinions of Ana Losada, spokesperson for School for Everyone and head of the Assembly for Bilingual Schooling; Albert Bayot Fuertes, the Girona representative of the Catalan Graduate Teachers Association; and Anna Rosés, a Catalan teacher at Escola Pia Sarrià-Calassanç in Barcelona. This week's Catalan phrase is 'fer escola'. Literally 'to do or make school', it means to have disciples, followers or imitators.
