Curiosity Beyond Borders: Learning Through Languages with Simone Pols

In this episode, I’m joined by Simone Pols, a language enthusiast, coach, and founder of the Simple Italian Podcast — one of the most popular podcasts for Italian learners. 🌍Simone’s story is rooted in curiosity — a deep desire to learn, explore, and connect with people across cultures. Having lived in several countries and speaking nearly a dozen languages (with Spanish as his favorite!), Simone shares how language has been his bridge to understanding the world.We talk about his travels, including his memorable trip to Bangladesh, where a few words of Bengali made all the difference in connecting with locals and navigating a new culture. He also reflects on what learning languages has taught him about being present, open, and mindful in life.✨ His message? Stay curious, be present, and keep learning — because every language opens a new way to see the world.🌐 Website → simonepols.com🎙️ Podcast → Simple Italian Podcast on Spotify📸 Instagram → @simonepols
