    <description>Learn a Language...Or Maybe Three! The Fluent Show is on a mission to help you get excited about language learning. We learn languages every day in our lives, and have learnt over 15 different languages between us. We share stories, news, tips, and ideas that will make you fluent...eventually. Subscribe to the show today to get your regular dose of Fluent love. It is worth clarifying that we actively want to support anti-racism and will highlight and advocate for the equality of all. Language learning means committing to tolerance of other world views, and this open mind is a core value for me. This topic deserves well considered words so here are the best Kerstin managed to put together.</description>

  <description>&lt;h2&gt;Words in the Wild: Equality and Tea&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've been out in the wild, seeing and discussing words in the English language, and in this episode I presented the best of them to Lindsay to discuss what they can reveal about us and about society.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, we discussed social justice words. What really IS mansplaining? Is it just a word to describe any occasion when a man explains something to a woman? Or is there more to it?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What do you think of the social justice words like &lt;em&gt;hepeating&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;mansplaining&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;manel&lt;/em&gt;, and the responding #notallmen and &lt;em&gt;broflakes&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And our second word in the wild was &lt;em&gt;tea&lt;/em&gt; - short and sweet, but is this even translateable?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Motivation Tips&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even though this is not Lindsay's average October of falling leaves and dropping temperatures, we took a deep dive into the season to discuss how you can &lt;strong&gt;get motivated for learning a language in autumn/fall&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Plus, we've got some absolute evergreen tips mixed in for you to help anyone learning a language by themselves. Learning a language by yourself is not always easy, and motivation is a huge challenge. There are so many interesting and exciting ways to get going, so here are some of our best:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can read our full list of motivation tips in detail at &lt;a href="http://www.fluentlanguage.co.uk/blog/podcast-episode-67" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;www.fluentlanguage.co.uk/blog/podcast-episode-67&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Little tip: Try our sponsor &lt;a href="http://www.clozemaster.com/cllp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Clozemaster&lt;/a&gt; as your new app addiction. Get it done in the morning, and you'll be set for the day.&lt;/p&gt;
