Learn about becoming more human through language and learning to understand ourselves and others better. In this chat, Founder of The Learning Future Louka Parry shares many insights about the power of learning to deepen connections, build emotional intelligence, improve social awareness and maintain wellbeing – all crucial elements for humanity as we head into the future.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

  • How learning a new language can help you view yourself, others and the world from a different perspective.
  • Becoming more 'human' in a world driven by machines and technology.
  • Fostering curiosity and a love of learning.

Our favourite quotable moments:

"One of the beautiful, cultural things about learning languages is it enables us to understand ourselves from a different vantage point, through being able to put on the shoes of another and walk around in them." – Louka Parry
