Small Talks - English with Anne

Small Talks - English with Anne

Anne Bernat

The goal of my podcast is to share my passion for languages ​​but also to share with you my sadness when I see some of my English students coming back to me demotivated because some people either at work or in their circle have not even tried to listen to them. In each podcast, I will interview people who are native and non-native English speakers. Through these interviews, what I would like to demonstrate is that accents should not prevent people from communicating together but they should actually have the opposite effect because we can all benefit from a different perspective.

  • 2 - Episode 2: My story

    In this episode, I talk about my life journey, from being a teen in rural France to settling down in Canada. I revisit each important stage of my life which shaped me as a person. I also explain the reasons behind being here in Canada. I mention my  ex-husband, my two children and my partner. You will meet all of them (and more) in other episodes. This is my journey. I hope you will enjoy it!

  • 1 - Episode 1 : Introduction (Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness)

    In this episode, I explain why I decided to create this series of podcasts. Being from France and teaching both French and English, I wanted to raise awareness about the importance of embracing different accents and of creating a comfortable space where non native speakers can express themselves freely without feeling judged. 

    I also wanted to show English native speakers how important it is to acknowledge the courage that non native speakers have when trying to communicate in a second language and to show them empathy and encouragement. These are, in my mind, the pillars for communicating and creating human connections.
