The Language Worker

This is Rita Prazeres Gonçalves, Host of The Language Worker podcasts

In this podcast, I have conversations with language professionals who are willing to talk about their experience, their knowledge, and their strategies to navigate the ever-changing Language Industry.

The Language Worker is the result of my deep gratitude to the world for continuing to allow me to work on language projects, teaching, mentoring, and reflecting on the phenomenon of language and what it means for humanity.
This is also an opportunity to learn and share the knowledge I acquired over more than 20 years of doing what I love the most - working with language in multiple settings:

Academia, business, training, mentoring, webinars, workshops, and podcasts.
