Roqe Ep. 383 – Are You the Same Person in a Second Language? - Dr. Jila Ghomeshi, Mojdeh Razeh, Shahrzad Sherry Kazemi
Update: 2025-07-31
Description
On this episode of Roqe, Jian Ghomeshi leads a powerful panel discussion on language, migration, and identity.
For many immigrants, speaking English isn’t just a practical skill — it’s a profound shift in how they express emotion, how they’re perceived, and how they perceive themselves. This episode explores the idea that a second language can become a second self.
Jian is joined by:
Dr. Jila Ghomeshi, linguist and expert on language and identity
Mojdeh Razeh, English instructor and creator of @english.with.mojdeh
Shahrzad Kazemi, social media educator behind @learningenglishwithsherry
Together, they ask:
Who are you when you speak in your second language?
Does your personality shift?
And what happens to the real you in translation?
Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Castbox, SoundCloud, and RoqeMedia.com.
