Diaries of a Polyglot

The Language of Becoming

🌍 Welcome to the very first episode of Diaries of a Polyglot! In this origin story, I share the winding, multilingual road that led to Diaries of a Polyglot. From childhood surrounded by music and stories, to language loss and reclamation, to solo adventures in Brazil, Ghana, and beyond—this episode is a love letter to curiosity, culture, and how language shapes identity. You’ll hear how a grandmother-figure from my chosen family sparked my love for Spanish, why re-learning Twi became healing, and how teaching myself Portuguese during lockdown changed everything. It’s personal, a little nostalgic, and full of heart. 🎶 Bonus Playlist – Languages I Lived In I curated a playlist of songs tied to the languages and memories featured in this episode. From Puerto Rico to Brazil, and beyond. This is the soundtrack to my story. 🎵 ⁠Listen to the playlist here⁠ [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4QW1076MJgevjFERkaphgD?si=SaD7YOj3QEyjzhQbb8H_zQ] 💬 Let’s Stay Connected If this episode made you feel seen, inspired, or just a little more curious—leave a high rating and review.
