I’m joined in today’s advanced English episode of Hear You Go, by Felicio Dias, a Brazilian English language teacher and language enthusiast.

Felicio shares his passion for music, literature, and his interest in the diverse ways English is spoken across the world. Together, we dive into a thought-provoking discussion on how accents shape identity, the evolving nature of language, and the importance of embracing diverse voices in English.

Red alert: Catherine checks her privilege and vows to approach more novels from outside her perspective.

Whether you’re an intermediate English or advanced English language learner, teacher, or book lover, this episode offers profound insights into the complexities of English, identity, and the stories that connect us all.

Tune in and get ready to broaden your perspective on the global nature of English and appreciate its many voices.
