In this episode, I talk about how Grace and Space is designed for language learners who struggle with anxiety and fear of making mistakes. I share why these feelings are normal but don’t have to hold you back, and how gentle, consistent practice can help you build confidence. I also introduce the new speed language swaps at this year’s Grace and Space event, a safe and supportive way to practice speaking without judgment. If language anxiety is something you face, this episode is for you.
