Show Notes

In this compelling episode of "Hear My True Story," we engage in a thought-provoking dialogue with Edwin Matovu as we delve into our personal journeys of acquiring a new language. Our linguistic adventure centers around the German language, where we explore the nuances and challenges of achieving fluency. Along the way, we candidly discuss the instances where our attempts to speak German have occasionally revealed a distinctive Ugandan accent, shedding light on the phenomenon known as linguistic profiling. This practice has real-world consequences, impacting our employability, admission into educational institutions, and even our prospects as potential tenants. Join us as we unpack the complex implications of linguistic profiling in this enlightening episode.
