Introverted language learners: this is for you

If you're introverted, the idea of speaking to strangers might not be that exciting. I know the feeling. In the language community it seems it's always encouraged to talk to natives. This can be really beneficial, but can introverts manage to practice and use languages without needing to talk to strangers?

My friend Valeria asked me this question after our last video together, and although it's a short clip, I thought it would be valuable to share. ✨ Let's discuss!
