Oddbean new post about login | logout I can’t believe I’m giving bitcoin interviews in French 🇫🇷 If I could tell my 19 year old self that in my 30s I would be giving fully fluent (or fluent enough) bitcoin interviews in French while in Switzerland having hosted a talk at a bitcoin conference… …He would’ve looked at the joint he’s smoking and said Sacré bleu, bro! Did I buy skunk not weed? Big thanks to @HowToBitcoin for having me on. Merci Les gars !! https://youtu.be/5tMqFx6C2ko
Bravo @joenakamoto 👏
What was your journey in learning French?
Ooof good question! Had a really great French and Spanish teacher when I was a teenager who inspired me. Had a holiday to SW France. French girls. Realising that learning other languages help you learn your own a little better. Then studied it at uni but that it sucked my love for it. Then worked at French companies in really small French villages as a young adult. And my first grad job was selling ski holidays and hotels for a French company. So I guess it’s mostly time in the country + liking the culture and way of life. With Portuguese I’m less inspired by the language. Spanish less so. I’ve never stopped to really wonder why.
Your very inspiring Joe. I did abit of french at school but could never pick it up. German felt much easier. Saw from one of your replies you speak Spanish? Nice 👌 I saw a speech by Javier Milei, awakening Lions not lambs, and I was like, wow I want to learn spanish. Nice to see a youtuber speaking multiple languages, really quite rare. You kick ass 🤙im gonna try find you speaking Spanish, link in a reply if you've done one.
