The best way to learn a language, with polyglots Alex Rawlings & Lindie Botes, and neuroscientist Thomas Bak

In the first episode of More Than Words series 2, we address the most frequently asked language question: ‘What is the best way to learn a language?’, particularly as adults with busy lives. Joining our host Alex Rawlings to help answer this are three guests that have been doing it for many years.  Thomas Bak is a reader in human cognitive neuroscience from Edinburgh University, Lindie Botes is a polyglot who shares her language learning tips with over 250,000 followers on her Youtube channel, and Talli Menchion is a German language tutor for Rosetta Stone.  They tuned in from 3 different continents and with over 25 languages between them, you’ll have plenty of knowledge to apply to your own language learning journey, which is summarised at the end.
