Around the World in 20 Languages with Gaston Dorren.

Written By Vagarsh Azatyan

Gaston Dorren is the author of two great books on languages “Babel: Around the World in Twenty Languages” and “Lingo: A language spotter’s guide to Europe”.

It was a pleasure to chat with him on the podcast. We spoke about how languages influence us; how do historically bilingual cultures differ from monolingual ones; can one learn languages by using apps as Duolingo or Memrise?; and on how the modern dominance of English in media and entertainments impacts language learning.

I hope you will enjoy listening to this episode.
