Ep. 23: Connecting through Languages - Interview with Etai (Part 1)

Episode 23 - Part 1 of my discussion with Etai about all things related to language and culture.  Etai is a polyglot who was born in Israel and moved to the U.S. as a toddler to receive better care for his CP (Cerebral Palsy).  He loves learning new languages and has studied 10+ and counting.  We talk about the importance of having an emotional connection to the languages we study and why we find learning languages so worthwhile.  Both of us see languages as the best way to understand other people and to foster a sense of connection.  Maintaining many languages can prove challenging, but Etai gives us his favorite ways to stay connected to his various languages.  We also discuss active versus passive learning and maintenance.  Part 2 will be out soon so stay tuned!
