Despre acest podcast
A show about language, linguistics and people who love both!
A Language I Love Is... (ALILI) broadcasts linguistic joy and shares expert insights into the languages of the world. It's a simple formula: one host, one guest, one language, and three key questions:
1) What is your story and connection to this language?
2) What do you love about this language?
3) What is something you want the audience to know about this language?
Through informative interviews and casual conversations, ALILI fulfills its mission: to share the linguistic love with all.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
