This is a special episode featuring an interview with Sarah Manson, the Chief Learning Officer and co-founder of Golingoan AI-powered language learning app that distinguishes itself by focusing on simulated conversations to build speaking confidence, unlike many apps that prioritise grammar.
Sarah explains the app's origins, emphasising the common learner's fear of speaking and how Golingo provides a safe, progressive environment for practice.
The discussion also touches upon the cultural nuances of language, the benefits of bilingualism, and the importance of confidence in communication, with Sarah sharing her additional role in special educational needs in primary schools.
