13 Inspiring Ideas for Language Learning By Creating Your Own Podcast

podcasting ideas.jpg

I'm a super passionate teacher and love to teach people about what I tried and loved in my life, and one of those passions is podcasting.

For me, starting the Fluent Show was life-changing. I got to interview amazing people and learn something amazing every episode, from neuroscience to language creation.

You can read more about how podcasting made me a better language learner over here.

Most people think of podcasts as a marketing tool for their business but in reality they are so much more!!

Podcasting is perfect for people just like you: language lovers with a passion for learning.

Want some inspiration? Here goes!

If you're learning a language and want to speak more..

  • you could record a regular podcast in your target language practicing new topics and vocab you've just learnt

  • you could exchange podcast episodes as a joint show with a learning buddy

  • you could record interviews with native speakers as practice for your conversation skills

  • you could record a podcast about the resources you used and review and what you learnt - in your target language, of course

  • you could bring together friends and start a bilingual podcast book club, or film club, or music club

Or if you're taking regular language lessons...

  • you could get together with your fellow students and record a study club show together, talking about what you are learning

  • you could interview your fellow students to learn their motivations and learning methods

  • you could make your own accountability show, checking in every week to share what you've been learning

Let's get back to talking about business for a minute.

Are you a language teacher looking to get more students for your lessons and programmes?

  • you could share some of your lessons with the world and build a huge following of eager students

  • you could interview successful students as super powerful testimonials

  • you could share your teaching philosophy so the perfect students get to know you

Or maybe you're a teacher with a full roster of students!

  • you could share homework assignments and tips directly to your students' phones through a simple podcast feed

  • you could upgrade your content and open a new income stream by going deeper in a podcast discussion

And by the way, if you're a woman or non-binary, we need you even more because right now 75% of podcast hosts are men.

All this leaves just one question:

How do you start a podcast? Who can show you how to do this?

Guess what...I can!!
