In this episode Gabriel Gelman from Sprachheld.de comes on the show to talk about learning languages at home and abroad.
Gabriel Gelman is the founder of Sprachheld, a popular language learning website for Germans learning foreign languages (and―as an added bonus―non-Germans learning German as a foreign language). On the site, Gabriel shares useful language learning tips and tools, inspirational interviews with polyglots and linguists, and a dialogue-based Spanish course (with other languages slated for production in the future).
What I really like about Gabriel is that he's producing materials for language learners in a language other than English.
Don't get me wrong, English is great for communicating across the globe – but it's a nice change of pace to see another language used as the medium.
