When Andrew Williams was younger, his father advised him to learn a new language every year. Something that Andrew has been doing ever since. He now speaks an unheard number of languages and is probably the most talented hyperpolyglot you have never heard about!
Well I'm changing that with today's episode. In this informal, casual chat from Polyglot Berlin you can listen to me an Andrew as we dive into his past about language learning and transition into talking about good and bad language learning practices. How he is learning today and what keeps him motivated to keep exploring new languages.
Remember you can always suggest a guest for the podcast, via the contact page. I'd be happy to hear your suggestions 🙂
