On today’s episode of Transformation Talks, we’re joined by Gisele Ribeiro de Farias, a certified teacher, former Disney performer, and my own Portuguese teacher.

She’s been absolutely wonderful to work with as I’ve dove into the Portuguese language, and we got into a lot of popular topics during today’s conversation:

  • Whether thirty minutes per day is enough to learn a language (01:56)
  • The truth about fluency (03:52)
  • Overcoming the fear of “sounding dumb” (07:12)
  • The most effective learning styles (11:24)
  • How to make learning a new language feel less daunting (14:30)
  • Having trouble with specific languages (18:15)
  • Learning a new language as we age (19:57)
  • Gisele’s backstory (26:33)
  • How being bilingual affected Gisele’s Disney experience (34:08)
  • The biggest lesson Gisele learned from Disney (39:19)
  • What to look for in a language teacher (44:33)
  • Gisele’s Fast 5 answers (49:51)
  • Different “types” of each language (57:57)
