Women in Language 2021

Join us for Women in Language, an online event created to champion, celebrate and amplify female and non-binary voices in language learning.

Passionate about language learning?

About culture? Learning? Social topics? Equality? Self improvement?

We are too, and that's why we're (that's Kerstin Cable, Lindsay Williams, and Shannon Kennedy) back hosting our fourth Women in Language conference.

This March, join us in celebrating lesser heard voices in language learning.

You want to learn more about reasons to be cheerful in languages, how to experiment with languages and delve into new techniques, and hear inspiring stories about other language learners and communities across the globe. And you want to connect with others who share your love of languages.

We do too.

Our current global situation has put more distance between us than before, and Women in Language is an event where you can connect, find inspiration, and learn.

Now more than ever, it's important for more voices to be heard.

You may have noticed that the majority of the well-known polyglots online are male, that expert panels and line-ups can be dominated by these voices. The media in particular pays more attention to male experts, even though the language field is full of females, too.

That's why we do things a little differently, introducing...

New voices. Fresh perspectives. And a conference like no other


Welcome to Women in Language

Live from 4 to 7 March 2021


Meet a collaborative and supportive team of language learners without leaving the comfort of your couch at home. Enjoy four action-packed days of panels, language practice sessions, and talks from an inspiring line-up of expert speakers with diverse backgrounds: polyglots, industry veterans, full-time world travelers, teaching experts, academic professors, and innovators.

Not to mention--every speaker and panelist at this event is female, trans or non-binary. Heck yes!

This year, we're putting 30+ female, trans and non-binary speakers in the spotlight.

Women In Language is a unique online event designed to champion, celebrate, and amplify the lesser-heard voices in language learning.

The event this year is happening Thursday 4th March - Sunday 7th March 2021.

Oh, and you’re gonna abso-positively love it.

 
Women In Language is curated to inspire and empower everyone who loves language.
While all the speakers are women, we invite everyone and anyone to join us.
For this year's event we gathered an incredible lineup of speakers to talk about three key aspects of language spanning the four-day event:

  • Reasons to be Cheerful: Finding the joy and positivity in language learning.
  • Language Learning Lab: Learning techniques, ideas, methods that you can experiment with.
  • Remote Education: Teaching online, learning online, homeschooling & other ways to connect across distance.
So whether you’re a man, a woman, or otherwise, a beginner or an experienced language learner, and however language fits into your life...
This event will leave you motivated, inspired, and equipped with ways to improve your own language learning.
