AFP 72 – Daniel Krasa: Language Vagabonding

by
(Last Updated On: April 27, 2020)

This time we're taking a look at the journey of hyperpolyglot Daniel Krasa, who is a published author of multiple phrase books, dictionaries, and language learning materials.

Daniel Krasa

I first met Daniel at the Polyglot Gathering in Berlin and he had one of the more interesting name badges, I believe it said something along the lines of “too many to count!” which immediately got me interested in learning more about his story. After talking a bit with him and also reading a profile Assimil had done, I knew I had to get him on the podcast to share his experiences learning many languages.

Sorry about the poor audio quality the first 5 minutes of the podcast.
