Foreign to Me

Welcome to the Foreign to Me podcast, today we chat with Marion Belliot from Brittany, about her art inspired by landscapes of Ireland. You can find her work on different mediums from digital to wood at various markets around Dublin and Kildare and on her Instagram and Etsy accounts https://www.instagram.com/explorewithmarion/ and https://www.etsy.com/ie/shop/Explorewithmarion. Lisa met Marion recently at the Blackrock Market where she bought Maria a beautiful print of the Donegal coast, and it all led to a lovely evening chat about art, creativity, travel and the human connection found at markets.We hope you enjoy it and find inspiration for Christmas and other special occasions.

During lockdown many of us were stuck at home not knowing what to do with our time or how to entertain young children. Many rediscovered old hobbies during the pandemic and some creative new talents were unleashed. Today we have a chat with Carla Marina Soriano from @BintoBeads who started to look at her rubbish differently and started making beautiful jewellery with items most of us just dump in the recycling bin like oat packets, fruit nets or even take away containers.At the Foreign to Me podcast, we talk with migrants about their interesting stories, achievements and ideas. Enjoy!

Today we are delighted to chat with Dr Francesca La Morgia, from Mother Tongues, who has just been announced as one of the 2021 Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Impact Awardees. We chat with her about raising multilingual children, common myths and misconceptions, her tips to make languages fun for kids... and we ask her how many languages can one human possibly speak?If you are a parent raising children in different languages, you will love today's episode, and check out the Mother Tongues website to learn more about their webinars, language classes, festival and so many other great resources for both parents and teachers.
