First Time Learning a New Language with 8x Polyglot Jo Franco

Send us Fan MailToday I'm talking with JoClub CEO, World Traveler and 8x Polyglot Jo Franco about what it REALLY takes to become multi-lingual. She dropped so many quotable moments in this episode I think I may need to make a highlight reel so we can all come back to it to stay inspired to keep pushing through when we hit that point where our brains feel like they're melting from learning a new language. Jo makes language learning an adventure and I know she's going to inspire you to become a polyglot so you too can experience all of the incredible things that come with speaking outside of your native tongue.
