As someone who grew up between languages and now speaks several, I’ve been corrected in English, Russian, French, Japanese… honestly, in every language I’ve ever opened my mouth in. In this video, I’m unpacking the weird human instinct behind correction, how different communities do it, and how to stay sane while you’re learning.The more adept you become in a language, the more corrections you'll encounter, a peculiar aspect of human nature.

This video explores why people correct others, referencing the Cunningham Law, and offers advice on navigating these constant corrections during your language learning journey.

It's all about understanding the mindset behind these interactions and improving your communication skills as a polyglot to effectively how to learn a language in any environment.

🎬 About Cartoons in the Fog I’m Margo, and this channel explores the intersection of animation, culture, and language learning. I believe that language is deeply cultural and that you learn it best through real interaction, curiosity, and a supportive community (not judgment and nitpicking).
