Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S02E30 Mike Rice, English Speaker - From County Kilkenny, Ireland šŸ‡®šŸ‡Ŗ
Q: Do you think when you speak English, you have an accent?
Yes, and it's very noticeable, especially when I'm abroad.
S02E29 Spring Day, English/Japanese Speaker - From Kansas City, Missouri, USA šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø
Q: What was your first reaction to that?
It made sense to me that it was important to know the focus of the podcast, and I was baffled by American centralism, and from a young age, I sought more diverse perspectives.
S02E29 Spring Day, English/Japanese Speaker - From Kansas City, Missouri, USA šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø
Q: What do you mean by getting away from it?
Being a foreigner in Japan becomes your whole identity and you have these little communities, but it was a lot like being in a university city because friendships would naturally shift as people moved.
S02E28 Martin Durchov, Bulgarian Speaker - From Sofia, Bulgaria šŸ‡§šŸ‡¬
Q: But how did you realize that?
I am sure someone would have mentioned something to me, like 100%. Someone did say, oh, it's good to mention kind of obvious things.
S02E28 Martin Durchov, Bulgarian Speaker - From Sofia, Bulgaria šŸ‡§šŸ‡¬
Q: Martin, do you think you have an accent when you speak English?
I definitely have an accent. People immediately laugh because it's so obvious that I am absolutely not from there.
