Language & Travel Hacking · Everyone in the Room Thinks They're the Worst · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

The conversation is still happening. voice-verified

If your level were really worthless, the other person wouldn't be engaging with you. voice-verified

And sometimes if they aren't, it's actually more about their personality or their own problems that things they're distracted with, rather than something specific to your language skills. voice-verified

So if you've been the one apologizing for your language level, you're actually in really good company because that's how most people feel. voice-verified

Most people I meet at language events are always second guessing themselves. voice-verified

So the next time voice-verified

you catch yourself doing something like that, look at the person who may still be very happily talking to you and trust that a thousand times more than the critical examiner in your head, because I promise that they have stopped grading you the second the conversation got good. voice-verified

So if what's standing between you and that conversation is the fear of opening your mouth in the first place. voice-verified

Then that's the reason I built my boot camp. voice-verified

It's made for getting you speaking early, mistakes and all, with people who are rooting for you instead of potentially marking you. voice-verified

So come and join us over at languagehacking.com slash BC and you'll have regular live calls with me giving you the best encouragement you could ever need. voice-verified

I'd love to see you there. voice-verified

But as always, thanks for listening to these podcasts and until the next time, happy language learning and happy travels. voice-verified

Language & Travel Hacking · The Instant Community a Language Hands You · 1 Jun 2026 podcast

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Language and Travel Hacking Podcast. voice-verified

I'm your host, Benny Lewis, and today I want to talk about the instant community that a language hands you once you've learned it. voice-verified

So basically, right across the road from where I'm staying in San Luis Potosi, which is my 18th state of Mexico, there's a couple who turned their front room of their house into a little voice-verified

Cafe some mornings and a few days after I arrived voice-verified

Knowing nobody in the city, I wandered over for some huevos rancheros and ended up staying for an hour that time and came back again the next morning and then again a few days later. voice-verified

And at this point, they're basically my tio nacho and tia cale. voice-verified

They've also traveled all over, they have an interesting story to share, and none of this discovery would be happening if I couldn't sit down and talk with them in Spanish. voice-verified
