Hi, I'm Georgiana, your English teacher.

Thanks for joining me for a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

If you want to help, please share the podcast on social media.

That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Before we start, visit my website, speakEnglishpodcast.com, and subscribe to my free mini-course. Okay, let's start. In this episode, I'd like to talk about how speaking a different language can change your personality.

Later, a cool mini-story to practice your English speaking.

Let's get started.

So, did you know that speaking a different language can change your personality?

Yes, you heard me well.

Studies show that depending on the language you speak, your personality can be affected.

Studies show that speaking two or more languages can lead to a split personality.

They say that many speakers have completely unique identities in each of the languages they

speak.

Apparently, the way you speak impacts the way you think, and it influences everything

from how you make decisions to how you perceive color. Therefore, language is much more than just

communication, since the way you speak clearly affects the way you think. I can speak several languages

besides English. When I speak in German, for example, I pay attention to the way I interact

with people, the way I organize my ideas and my thoughts, my emotions.

All of these become profoundly influenced by the language I'm speaking.

For example, whenever I speak in German, I become more rational.

On the other hand, if I have a conversation in Spanish, I can observe myself behaving differently.

It's like being a different person.
