Hey Language Learners! Welcome back to another amazing interview about Insecurities about Language. In this episode, I had the pleasure of finally speaking about languages from a males perspective. Joshua was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN. He began learning Spanish in school but desired much more than what he received. He started his solo journey after graduating college to learn Spanish on his own. Trying out many different strategies and failing on the way, he has fallen in love with the process and with languages. His passion for language learning has taken him to Mexico, the Dominican Republic twice, a Spanish church, and serving the Latino community as a volunteer distributing food where he lived. Now, he is on a new chapter of his journey learning a new language, French, to add to his toolbelt but also wants to learn German in the future. Also, he has created a YouTube channel called Spanish Blueprints which is dedicated to helping Spanish learners by giving them study strategies, language learning resources, and his personal experiences with the language learning. He desires to one day be a language coach or a language teacher to fulfill his passion for helping others.
