Episode 320: EwK320 - Language, identity, and culture with Urmi Hossain
Episode 320
Thursday, 23 July, 2026
I recently met Urmi Hossain online and we decided to record a conversation together discussing Urmi’s experience of living in different places, speaking multiple languages on a daily basis, and exploring other people’s stories of culture, language, migration, and identity.In this conversation, we talked about:🎧 Urmi’s language story and her relationship with each of her “almost five languages”🎧 How the settings in which we learn languages can affect how we communicate in them.🎧 Urmi’s experience of adapting to both living in a new country and working in an additional language.🎧 The importance of curiosity and open-mindedness when you’re exploring a new culture.🎧 Reframing the stories we tell ourselves and our relationships with our multiple languages.🎧 Urmi’s podcast “Stories Beyond Borders”, why she decided to create it, and the voices that she wants to amplify through her platform.Find out more about Urmi, her book and her podcast on the show notes page https://www.englishwithkirsty.com/podcast/episode320/
