Richard Benton says:

Thanks for the episode! The discussion really hit home around studying languages when one has a job, children, and other responsibilities. I’m a good 15-20 years older than many of the folks in the polyglot community, so it’s nice to hear this topic come up. Digital Nomadism is not an option for me when I want my kids to have a home and a community they can grow up in.

I had to create a way to learn languages that didn’t involve much traveling or hours per day. It was hard, but I managed.

Soon, however, they will be out of the house, off on their own language adventures. I’m grateful I can encourage them to get out there and connect with people all over the world.
