*Trigger Warning* This episode contains content that may be distressing and unsuitable for some listeners. If you or anyone you know needs help please contact the help and support lines in your country or area. In Australia, this is Lifeline on 13 11 14 and Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636. This episode is chock-a-block full of information to help you learn. We interview Fernando, a Brazilian, currently living and working in Australia. He's chock-a-block full of talent. He has his own personal projects, helping people on a global scale, and we're hoping to get him chockas for an important date. He is raising money for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. We talk about his journey as a language learner, and a life learner, and how that has shaped his personal projects now. We talk about his profession, as a tattoo artist, and the similarities we find as teachers of languages. We talk about how feeling comfortable is not just important when being tattooed, but also when learning and teaching a language. We hope this episode leaves you chockas with optimism, and maybe with ideas for your own personal projects. And as always, motivation for continuing your learning journey. If language learning has helped you in a personal way, we would love to hear about it. And if you would like to help out with Fernando's project, get in touch, and we will direct you to the correct places.
