Élaina's Story
“I don’t really know what the future holds for me, but I know that each language I learn and practise will shape me into the person I am.”
In this episode, Élaina tells the story of her relationship with her family’s languages: those that were passed on to her by her parents, or those that weren’t.
You can find the transcript for this episode here.

This is the final episode (at least for now!) of The Moving Project. During the Covid-19 pandemic we worked with a group of people from all over the world, teaching them to podcast and helping them to tell personal stories about the experience of moving from one place to another. The results of this course are a series of episodes: each one about a very different migration experience, and each person bringing their own style and personality. We hope you love them as much as we do.
