Episode notes
This chapter emphasizes the importance of embracing discomfort when learning new languages, challenging the misconception that language learning is only for the naturally talented. Through the stories of two polyglots who struggled with languages in school but succeeded through self-teaching and embracing discomfort, the chapter discusses how children's fearless and imitative nature gives them an advantage in language acquisition. It also explores the concept of stepping out of one's comfort zone, making mistakes, and the association between dyslexia and creativity.
