RE: Katrina Perito’s English Is Like, Really Good - a podcast by Patricia Liu

Katrina Perito has two degrees in French, but don’t ask her if she’s planning on becoming a French teacher anytime soon, because she’s living proof that being multilingual can open up far more career opportunities than just teaching language. Katrina currently works for the French government as a Trade Advisor for Sports, Culture, and Tourism with the trade mission of the French Embassy, where she uses French at her job every day.

I had a ton of fun recording this episode with Katrina, because we hit on just about every practical topic and question you could possibly have about living and learning and working as a multilingual person: choosing a language to study; studying, living, and working abroad; making friends (and choosing which language to communicate with them); angsting over accents; and also that one time Katrina had to interpret a speech on the spot and received some very unexpected feedback shortly afterwards.

There’s just too much to summarize here, so dive into this week’s episode for some heavily #relatable multilingual content.
