When looking for guests for my show, my first stop was the Professional Speakers Association "Find a Speaker" database looking for people who spoke on gender issues. I have not met Nathalie, but as I decided to make one of my lockdown goals to finally learn French, and Nathalie is a primary school French teacher, I was immediately keen to meet and speak to her.

Nathalie speaks at least four languages (she also speaks Geordie), and travels around the northeast of England on her mobile library bus storytelling in different languages to children. She also speaks about gendering of picture books, and that is a something I am keen to speak to her about. I am also interested in how Europeans are handling the shift to non-binary, because while learning French I have noticed that most European languages are far more gendered than English.

So join me for a fascinating chat with someone who has really gone all out to take her expertise and uniquely package it - Nathalie is also a great inspiration for anyone in business for themselves. You can find out More about Nathalie at nattalingo.co.uk
