Judith Meyer was the guest of Episode 3 and is one of the most talented polyglots you will find on-line today. Fluent in over 10 languages, she has been a role model for me since the very beginning.
In the first episode we got into her learning history, her languages and her learning method – so if you are interested in these specific areas, don't hesitate to go back and listen to episode 3 of the podcast.
This episode is for those who are interested in learning Chinese, even if you have never started there are plenty of tips and tricks in this episode.
In the second half of the interview we talk about her latest venture which is an automagic online chinese learning course called LearnYu.
