Meet Megan: learning languages and building confidence

Meet Megan,

From starting out as an au pair in Germany to running her own language coaching business, Megan talks about how travel shaped her career, changed her mindset, her top tips for learning languages, and why confidence is the secret to better communication.

We discuss:

• Building confidence when learning a new language

• The difference between language lessons and coaching

• Overcoming “learned helplessness” and perfectionism

• Tips for immersion — from switching your phone language to joining local meetups

Megan’s Mexico Picks:

• 🌮 Tropical Tacos — for cochinita and mezcalitas

• 🥐 Media lunas from local bakeries (Argentinian croissants!)

• 🍝 Francesca’s (Italian) & Celine’s (French) for international flavors

• 💧 Cenotes — natural lagoons perfect for a refreshing afternoon swim
