Can learning a new language unlock part of your personality?

This is something I've wondered my entire language play experience. And I've been asking guests flavors of this question more and more lately.
How Kyle and Diane answer this question is really going to tickle your funny bone and get you thinking about this too. They are two Americans who went to Albanian separately to do the Peace Corps.

Yes, yes, we also talk about:
-Albanian & other regional languages
-cultural insights they gained while using these languages
-tips for how to learn limited resource languages, like Albanian

Language can be a lens into culture, a way to share our experiences and a tool to help others.  

These are some of the aspects of language that we discuss with guest Elizabeth Gowing. She  worked in primary education in inner London before moving to the Balkans in 2006. From then until very recently she split her time between Kosovo, Albania and the UK. During her time in the Balkans she immersed herself in many of the languages used there and shares the cultural insights that she learned. 

One of these experiences while she was in Kosovo was co-founding the Ideas Partnership non-profit. She is also the owner of the Sapune social enterprise, offering employment to village and minority community women and support to the education of their children. Elizabeth is also an author of five travel books and has translated two books from Albanian.
