This is a really interesting idea, but it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the awesome post. I’m currently learning French, and really just starting to scratch the surface. I’m wondering, how would you generally approach finding this character? What’s worked best for you? Did you just stumble upon someone one day?
I want to try and be intentional about the avenues I take to pick up learning the language, and listening to things French people listen to is naturally one of the main things I’ll be doing. In this regard though, what would be the best way to expose myself to these characters I may want to mimic more exclusively (i.e. Movies, Television, Radio, Music, etc.)?
Yes, you’re totally right. The easiest way in my opinion to find people like that is to look at pop culture in that language (movies, music, commercials). By exposing yourself to these things (specifically in genres that you enjoy), then you’ll be more likely to find this character.
