Marek Kohn, the author of Four Words for Friend:Why Using More Than One Language Matters Now More Than Ever comes on the show to talk about the book, as well as the role of languages in society, nationalism and improving assimilation and integration.
It's a slighty different topic than normal, but I find it extremely interesting and important to language learners!
