Why learn Spanish in 2026? / ¿Para qué aprender español?

Jacinta has an Irish passport and a very Mexican name. She told Agustina she's learning Spanish because in this language, her inner voice is much kinder to herself than in English. In this first episode of "Con Otras Palabras", Agustina asks a question that feels almost embarrassing in 2026: why learn a language at all? With reflections of Morábito, Borges, and Molloy, she thinks out loud about what we're really looking for when we reach for another language. Natural Argentine Spanish. Intermediate–advanced level (B1–C1). Extra notes and transcript: https://substack.com/@conotraspalabras [https://substack.com/@conotraspalabras]
