I get comments occasionally from people who say -I want to be like a native speaker- and -I don-t want to learn from non-native speakers.-In this episode, I-ll argue the benefits of learning from non-native speakers as well as natives, and not closing yourself off from learning. The main thesis here is to stay open-minded in language learning and I explore some reasons why.I cover some ways in which non-native speakers might be preferable to native speakers, and even when they-re not, the things you can learn from them.I hope you find this episode valuable.
