066: Kerstin Cable Puts a New Spin on Language Courses

Happy Monday! I had a really interesting chat with Kerstin Cable recently, and I’m glad you’re here to listen in! Kerstin is a polyglot and online course creator who has a very unique main course – plus some more traditional ones as well. We talked about her rationale behind the language-learning approach she teaches, and what she shared gave me a lot of food for thought. "Make [your course] about half the size you think it should be." -Kerstin Cable I’m still mulling over what Kerstin shared in today’s episode, and I invite you to do the same after you listen to our chat!
