Polyglot Project podcast interview with David Mansaray

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

The Polyglot Project podcast has interviewed 10 renowned language learners, which makes for fascinating listening.

The other day, David Mansaray and I had a little chat over Skype for his Polyglot Project Podcast. We met in November at the Poliglotti4.eu conference in Parma, where he asked me to speak on his show. We had a great conversation, and talked about a lot of fascinating aspects of language learning, such as the psychological process of language learning, experiences abroad, non-verbal communication and much more. David’s just finished editing this, and is now available for you to listen to on his website.

David’s website is full of great tips for learners of language or any subject, and has documented his own experiences learning Japanese and Spanish, and published other interviews with renowned language learners, and is definitely worth checking out.

I hope you enjoy listening, and if you have any thoughts, please feel free to share them with me in the comments box below!

    Haha, I can totally relate to what you said about staying in Russia and changing your ways.
    I remember staying in St Petersburg for a couple of weeks and wearing a constant bitch face (and a fur coat) just to blend in. I looked sullen, but according to the girls working at the hostel I looked “super Russian”. The only problem I had was when people started talking to me (expecting me to be Russian) and I had to ask them in my shitty Russian to p l e a s e slow down.
    After returning to Scandinavia it took me almost 2 weeks to start smiling to shop clerks again.
