Narrator: Listen to part of a podcast on languages.
Miguel: Welcome to 'The Language Channel'. I'm your host Miguel Pardo. Today we're talking about how, or if, your personality changes when you speak a different language. Nadia Timmerman is here to tell us about her new book, called 'Different Languages, Different Personalities?' Nadia, I grew up speaking Portuguese and English. My friends tell me I'm funnier in Portuguese than I am in English. When I'm around Portuguese speakers, I'm just more outgoing. Is that possible?
Nadia: Yes, it is! I conducted many surveys with people who spoke two or more languages and it is possible. It's interesting how differently people act when speaking different languages.
Miguel: So can my personality really be completely different in Portuguese than it is in English?
Nadia:Well, you can be more outgoing in one language. But, according to my research, your basic personality doesn't change. What seems like a change in your personality is just a change in the way you act based on the situation. What happens more often is how people use languages in different contexts.
Miguel: Can you give us an example?
Nadia:Sure. For instance, I use English at work but I speak Russian with my family and friends. So when I speak Russian, I use a lot more 'slang' or more informal words. I guess you could say I feel more relaxed when I speak Russian, and more formal when I speak English.
Miguel: Oh, so you mean my personality doesn't really change – it's more a matter of how I use the different languages?
Nadia:Exactly!
Miguel: And what about the culture of a language? Can it affect personality?
Nadia:Well that's a very long and complicated answer.
Miguel: I guess I'll just need to read your book to find out! Thanks for speaking with us today, Nadia. Our listeners and I sure learned a lot.
