Why do we speak differently at work, with friends, or at home? In this episode of Speak Smart, we explore code-switching — the way we shift between languages, dialects, or speech styles depending on the context. Learn how it reflects our identity, navigates power, and influences belonging. Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the most fascinating aspects of everyday communication. 👉 Subscribe for more episodes on language, communication, and the brain. #CodeSwitching #SpeakSmart #LinguisticsPodcast #CommunicationTips #Sociolinguistics #EverydayEnglish
