Speaking My Language

from 40 Is Coming · host OverPond Media

To the icebreaker question "If you could have any superpower, which would it be?" my superpower of choice would be the ability to speak any language, dialect, or tongue.The ability to understand, and to be understood, in all contexts & in all places is - for someone like me - the same as the ability to fly or walk through walls. Curiosity about myself & others is one of the reasons this podcast exists.At this stage of your life, do you see yourself as someone who is curious, indifferent, or hostile to the languages and lives of other people? At 40, do you live in an environment where curiousity about others is valued?Did you grow in a context where curiosity was not an option? Where you had to be aware of the ways of being and speaking of those around you, for your well-being, advancement, or survival?Or did you enter adulthood in an environment where curiousity was an option?  Where you were part of the default setting, and most of the people you encountered spoke, thought, dressed, and acted in similar ways to you?Follow us on social media: @40iscoming_ on IG and @40iscoming everywhere else.Intro Theme Music: Stressed by artbybigveeBeats Provided By https://freebeats.io, Produced By White HotBeats Provided By Pond5, Produced by MarcBeasley
