Description


This episode comes with a bit of a difference, as Lindsay and I were reporting live from the Polyglot Gathering in Berlin.We bring you reports and impressions from what's going on at the event.There are opportunities to listen in to the fabulous language introductions. We had the opportunity to learn about all kinds of languages, from Indonesian to Greek.
It’s about people coming together and accepting each other for who they are. It’s a life philosophy, in a way. - Jordan
I also brought my microphone to several new people - hear the personal language learning stories of Tristan, Jordan and Stephen who are all English native speakers learning over 5 foreign languages. It's possible!The Polyglot Gathering is sponsored by our own podcast sponsors, so this time there's a double shout out for italki - you can get started learning languages with native speakers on there.

Learn a Language...Or Maybe Three! The Fluent Show is on a mission to help you get excited about language learning. We learn languages every day in our lives, and have learnt over 15 different languages between us. We share stories, news, tips, and ideas that will make you fluent...eventually. Subscribe to the show today to get your regular dose of Fluent love. ? Check out the Fluent Language courses (https://www.fluentlanguage.co.uk/my-courses) It is worth clarifying that we actively want to support anti-racism and will highlight and advocate for the equality of all. Language learning means committing to tolerance of other world views, and this open mind is a core value for me. This topic deserves well considered words so here are the best Kerstin managed to put together. (https://www.fluent.show/blacklivesmatter)
