Episode 5: How Cultural Curiosity Leads to Language Mastery
This week we have a great conversation with Orna Shaughnessy about culture, technology, language and even the unexpected relationship between Spanish and Japanese.
Orna is a professor of Japanese at the University of Denver, and she have helped a very large amount of students to learn japanese for their life.
Her vision about culture and contemporary America makes this conversation very interesting, and I know you'll learn a thing of two by listening to her perspective.
Here is a glimpse of what you can expect:
• Japanese pronouns and cultural thinking
• The alter-egos of bilingual people
• How digital tools are revolutionaizing characters memorization
• Why adult learners need choice and not prescription in the materials to learn
