In this episode, we explore the myth of the modern polyglot. Can anyone truly maintain fluency in more than two languages at once? Drawing from linguistic theories and personal experience as a philologist, we break down the cognitive limits of language learning, the trade-offs of multilingualism, and the difference between deep understanding and surface-level proficiency. Join us as we uncover the truth behind online polyglot culture and what it really means to master a language. Le Paradoxe du Polyglotte : Les Limites de la Véritable Fluidité Dans cet épisode, nous déconstruisons le mythe du polyglotte moderne.

Víš, co je to polyglot? Polyglot je člověk, který mluví spoustou jazyků. V tomhle díle Šesté ti Beky a jejích 5 hostů prostřednictvím talkshow něco řekne o zvláštních 5ti jazycích, jazycích lásky.

Polyglot - noun. A person who knows and is able to use several languages. The spoken or written word can divide people as easily as it can unify them - even when they are speaking the same language. Terminology, shorthand, and acronyms may be convenient or efficient, but when they get in the way or fail to communicate the desired meaning, they aren't doing us any favors. In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Bennett Glace. Bennett has held a number of content marketing and communications roles, both inside and outside of procurement, and each one has given him the opportunity to see new ways that humans connect - or don't - based on medium and message. In this interview, Bennett embraces his inner ‘polyglot' to help procurement build stronger relationships: How using a common language can increase the likelihood that others will be willing to collaborate The trouble that can be caused when colleagues have a negative past perception of procurement The mindset shift procurement might need to undergo to start projecting a more optimistic and open-door ‘brand' Links: Bennett Glace on LinkedIn

Des Bishop! Comedian! Author! Polyglot! Delight! Des is a super funny comic and here is the proof in the form of nice things that have been said about him and it: “Funny, erudite and effortlessly delivered.” - The Scotsman “Charismatic, sincere, eloquent and always seeking the angle.”- Chortle “Fast paced and clever. A sure-fire winner.” - The Sunday Age, Melbourne Des Bishop's new comedy special, Of All People, is an hour of original stand-up and a culmination of years of experience on stage all over including in Queens, Ireland, and China. Bishop crafts high-energy stories and jokes, bringing the audience on a wildly entertaining ride through tales of his international travels and the gap between his looks and attitude. The openness and honesty of his presenting style combined with his restless imagination and perceptive observations make Des Bishop a must-see for fans of unique, insightful and provocative comedy. Des's material often focuses on cultural differences he noticed being a transplant into Irish Society from Queens, NY at a young age. He always incorporates a lot of material about language. He is likely the only comic many of us will see doing some of the set in Mandarin and some in Irish, which he learned so he could do comedy while living in China and Ireland. He spent 1 year in China to learn Mandarin and 1 year in Ireland to learn Irish, and he's done 60 minutes of comedy in both languages. And he remains an international presence, with a home and massive career in Ireland, and a life in the United States.  Of All People is the third hour from Des Bishop. You can see the special as of Oct 22, 2024, on the 800 Pound Gorilla Media YouTube channel and comedy hub.   About Des Bishop: Now a massive star in Ireland, native New Yorker Des Bishop moved from Queens to Ireland in his mid-teens in 1990. The openness and honesty of his presenting style combined with his restless imagination and perceptive comic observations make Des Bishop a must-see for fans of unique, insightful and provocative comedy. He came to Irish fame with TV shows, The Des Bishop Work Experience (2004), where he lived on minimum wage working different jobs in Ireland, Joy In The Hood, where he taught stand-up comedy in disadvantaged areas of four major Irish cities, and In The Name Of The Fada (2008, winner of the IFTA Best TV Series Award) about when he decided to learn Irish from scratch and perform a 60-minute stand-up comedy routine in the Irish language. In 2010, Des wrote his most personal show called My Dad Was Nearly James Bond, inspired by his father, Mike who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Bishop won an Irish Book Of The Year Award for his memoir of the same name, and brought a solo show version to the Edinburgh Fringe to widespread acclaim and five-star reviews. In 2013, Bishop went to Beijing, China to learn Mandarin. He is now fluent and the show about his experience, Breaking China was another major hit series with another acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Des has appeared on many live stand-up shows including Edinburgh Comedy Festival Live (BBC), Live at the Comedy Store (Comedy Central) and Australia's Spicks and Specks (ABC). He was also the star of HBO's A Comic's Climb, his Aspen Comedy Festival debut in 2005. He has released five best selling stand-up DVDs and his new digital special, Of All People comes out Oct 22, 2024 on 800 Pound Gorilla Media after his specials One Day You'll Understand (RTE 2018) and Made in China (Universal 2015).  About this podcast: You can listen to it!

In today's conversation, Subha Vadlamannati, founder and CEO of OpenNLP Labs and a student at Stanford, shares her journey and mission to make natural language processing (NLP) accessible for low-resource and marginalized languages. She explains the organization's focus on real-world applications of NLP, especially for languages underrepresented online, despite the vast number of global languages. Subha underscores the consequences of excluding these languages from digital resources, sharing real-world examples where language barriers caused life-threatening issues.  Highlighting Open NLP Labs' innovative tools, such as Edu Link and Polyglot, Subha discusses their aim to support learning and communication in over 100 low-resource languages. Subha also describes their research on fairness and bias in AI, emphasizing ethical AI practices to make technology more inclusive and responsible. She touches on the challenges of scaling fair AI and the importance of accurate, diverse datasets, especially as AI progresses toward multimodal applications in text, audio, and video.  The conversation includes practical advice for nonprofit leaders looking to use AI, encouraging a mission-aligned approach and community engagement. Subha concludes by expressing hope for the future of ethical AI, her dedication to advancing research in robotics and multimodal applications, and her encouragement for young researchers to join the field, driven by inclusivity and ethical responsibility.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS    [01:30] Meet Subha!  [02:39] Understanding Low Resource Languages  [04:54] Importance of Language Representation   [06:54] Challenges and Solutions for Low-Resource Languages  [08:18] Personal Journey and Motivation   [12:32] Tools and Projects of Open NLP Labs   [13:36] Workshops and Community Engagement   [15:06] Ethical AI and Future Directions   [17:33] Empowering the Next Generation for Social Impact   [20:06] Challenges and Opportunities in AI Research  [22:35] Impact of Future Technologies  [26:26] Subha's Future Aspirations  [31:53] Advice for Nonprofit Leaders  TIPS AND TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT TODAY  Advocate for more digital resources and platforms for low-resource languages.  Prioritize fairness by auditing AI models and aligning them with ethical AI frameworks.  Use multilingual learning tools like Edu Link and Polyglot for education in low-resource languages.  Ensure important information is available in multiple languages.  Develop community-specific strategies to address misinformation in low-resource languages.  Hold workshops for underserved communities on relevant topics like safety and readiness.  Engage in mission-driven AI projects.  Push for transparency in training datasets to improve fairness in AI systems.  Use AI to improve nonprofit efficiency but keep content genuine and mission-aligned.  Contribute to open-source language datasets to advance AI research inclusively.  RESOURCES  OpenNLPLabs: opennlplabs.org/  Subha Vadlamannati on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/subhavadlamannati/  OpenNLPLabs on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/opennlplabs/  Connect with Scott and Nathan  Scott - linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans-916b9139/   Nathan - linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/

I invited a very special language learning and language loving friend to co-host this episode with me and chat all about the joys of language learning. This is a very familiar voice in the language learning community, and it's such a pleasure to have Kerstin Cable of Fluent Language and The Fluent Show on Love, Joy, and Languages! We had an absolute blast talking about loving languages and finding joy in learning them. This chat is extra special for me because I don't think this show would exist without Kerstin and her Podcasting 101 course (https://www.kerstincable.com/podcasting101). Big thanks to Kerstin for putting so much goodness out into the world! In today's episode, Kersin and I talk about celebrating our language achievements, the value of self-work and appreciating your own personal journey, language exams and the excitement of the process, lots of German language, the link between language and culture, Kerstin teaches me a bit Welsh (you'll see why this language can easily become an obsession!), and Kerstin shares some of her favorite language things and people. Learning a language is a long road, and there are so many challenges along the way, but something that keeps us in the language learning world is all the joy we find in the process and the community.

Affirmations, or statements that affirm positive beliefs to you about you, are an excellent way to build yourself up. I use affirmations in many areas of my life, both general and specific, inlcuding language learning. They help remind me of my truth and keep me aligned with my morals and identity. Affirmations aren't about lying to ourselves or trying to fake it 'til we make it. They're about affirming true statements that we believe, at our core, so that we don't forget who we are, and that help us act in accordance with our true selves. Today's episode is full of meditative affirmations geared toward language learners. Have you ever considered what you believe about yourself as a language learner? Especially when things are stressful, and we feel like we're failing, we start to believe things that aren't true. We start to believe that we can't learn a language, that we're failures, that we're lazy, and so much more. These negative thoughts, while they feel true in the moment, aren't our real truths. Affirmations help keep us grounded in who we really are and in what we're really capable of. They pull us out of the negative spiral more quickly and remind us that negative moments don't define us. I hope you enjoy today's episode and are able to find many affirmations that you know are true to you. Take what you know to be true, what you really believe, and let that be a foundation of truth that you can tell yourself always, especially when you start feeling out of alignment with who you know yourself to be. Write out more affirmations that you know are true, and don't forget to be kind to yourself.

In today's episode I talk about extensive reading for effective language learning. Like I said in last week's episode, extensive input can be an excellent part of any language journey, but it can also go wrong. I feel very lucky that I didn't give up when it went very wrong for me. During my year-long project to boost my Italian to B2, extensive reading was one of my main (and favorite!) methods. Today I share a bit of my language journey and the early struggles I had trying to read in Italian, and then I share exactly what I did to make this method work for me in improving my language throughout the intermediate levels. I talk about all the reading sources I used, and also the ways in which I saw my Italian language improve. Language learning can be a very long journey, and it can feel like we're never going to get where we want to be. So it's very exciting and motivating to be able to look back and see exactly how my language has improved and what worked to get me there. I hope to inspire you all, as well, not just to read more (though that's always something I hope to inspire), but also to keep going. Find what brings you joy in languages, stick with what's working for you, and take note of all the ways your language journey is improving. I guarantee it really is improving.

Polyglot, polymath, call Rhys Langston what you want—there's a lot going on. Multidisciplined and disciplinary LA mage Rhys Langston released a tightly wound and densely packed EP in Polyglot on Chloroform. It stuffs in as many ideas, scenes and bars as most double albums in a curt runtime. From the sludgy noir of "casino petit bourgeois” or the troubling soul of “still to this day,” Langston matches the fluttering, chameleonic production of Steeltipped Dove with grace. We talked with Rhys below.

In this fourth episode of "Good Advice Gone Wrong," a segment in which I highlight some really good language learning advice that can also go wrong, I talk about input, input, input. Do all the reading and all the listening all the time! Language folk give this advice all the time, and I can't deny that it's got some amazing benefits, but it isn't a guaranteed path to success. Today I share three ways in which tons of input is great for languages bubut also three ways in which it could go wrong and has gone wrong for me. I finish up with three things you can do to make this method go right for you, if it's something you want to do. There are countless methods for learning a language, and I believe that all of them are good, but they aren't all good for everyone. Instead of just giving language learning advice, this recurring segment focuses on reasons specific pieces of good advice may not work for everyone. So if this method isn't for you, that's okay. I love sharing this segment in order to spark creative ideas for how we can mold advice and shape it into something that does work for us, if desired, and I hope to inspire you to discover your own creative, personalized language learning journey.

It's inevitable in our language learning that the reality of where we are on our journeys or what we're able to do doesn't match up with what we expected to happen. I know for me, this usually leads to be feeling frustrated, getting mad at myself, wishing I'd made different choices, and many the guilt and shame are overwhelming. What can we do to bounce back from this? What can we do when reality doesn't meet expectations in our language lives in order to move forward in a positive and helpful way? Today I share one of my very personal realities that hasn't met what I expected. I work through the feelings I've felt about it, the negative thoughts, and then the process of working toward a way ahead instead of remaining in my anger and frustration. Something interesting I realized as I was talking this out is that the journey I go through when reality doesn't meet expectations mirrors the five stages of grief, ending in acceptance and being at a place where I can logically decide what to do next. If you struggle with langauge journey expectations, especially with how to handle things when your language reality doesn't match up, give this episode a listen. Hopefully it sparks some inspiration for all language learners to process your own feelings and find a place from which you can continue the language learning that you love.

Today's episode is not to be missed! I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with Emily Harris, the language loving woman behind Language Travel Adoptee, a YouTube channel aimed at helping others gain confidence in their language learning through self awareness and personal growth. Emily shares a lot of her own personal experiences learning languages as a high achieving perfectionist, a transracial adoptee learning the language of her birth country, and all the very intricate intersections of her life. Today we focus a lot on authenticity in language learning, but particularly from the aspect of content creation in a world like YouTube where content is often tailored toward clicks and likes and less about the authentic reality of oneself. It was so good to finally get to sit down with Emily and talk about some of the harder things many of us face in our language lives. She and I share many similarities in the history of our personalities and mindset, as well as similarities in our growth stories through navigating language learning in a holistic way.

Today's episode is just a little reminder to meet your language learning energy where it is, not where you want it to be. It's too easy to push ourselves too hard or to be hard on ourselves when we aren't pushing, especially when we start to compare the intensity of or time spent with our languages to what it was a few days or months ago. What's important is to give yourself grace and realize that any tiny thing can change our energy. We move forward in a healthier way, and we maintain a better relationship with our languages and our entire language journey when we accept our energy as it is, meet it there, and do only what we really can. Go easy on yourselves, language learners. If you're feeling low on energy, don't push yourself beyond what you can do. And definitely don't make yourself feel bad for it. Know that just as your energy went down, it will go back up. You're doing amazing!

In today's episode I'm talking more about what I think of language projects, the benefits of framing language activities and goals as projects, and what types of projects you could jump into in order to boost your skills, confidence, and motivation in your languages. Anything can be turned into or framed as a project, and for some it may just seem like semantics calling some of these things projects. I can't explain it, but for some reason, framing regular ol' language exercises, activities, and goals as "projects" actually makes a difference in how I approach the thing and the likelihood of me finishing it while gaining the language along the way. I hope you get something out of today's episode, and I would love to hear from you! Please reach out to me or leave a response below if you're listening on Spotify, and let me know what language projects you've taken on, what ones you want to do, or just what you think about this way of framing language tasks.

After a break to finish preparing for and actually taking my Italian CILS B2 exam, I'm back with a few reflections on this project I took on to take my Italian to the next level. As I studied and prepared for this exam, I noticed a lot of differences between how I was approaching it versus how I used to study and prepare for tests. It was a much less stressful experience, and no matter what my results are, I know I've got a lot to be proud of!

Ready for a HUGE dose of motivation?

In today's episode I'm chatting with my dear friend, Kuba, a polyglot and passionate language learner who has a fascinating history with languages. As a native Polish speaker, Kuba learned Spanish and English in school, Hungarian at University and through immersion, and Catalan through immersion before diving into a world of self-study. After becoming a polyglot in this way then dabbling in many languages for several years, Kuba started learning Turkish and realized that it wasn't as easy as his previous languages. He knew he could learn it because he'd learned so many languages before, but he struggled in a very unexpected way. Join Kuba and me today we we explore language curiosity, frustrations, and expectations. We dive into beliefs and doubts, avoiding and changing focus languages, goals versus projects, immersion and the weight of learning a language. Kuba brings so much experience and depth to conversations about languages, and what he brings is so much more than simple, cursory tips and tricks of what's worked for him. His openness about his struggles, especially while already being a polyglot and already having multiple fluent languages, is insightful, inspiring, and something from which I think each one of us can learn.

Mase & Sue discuss Episode 7 and what the finale may reveal in their SUGAR Watch Along with Dennis Boutsikaris, who portrays the cagey Bernie Siegel. Is Olivia dead or alive? The connection between her and Sugar's sister, Jen, the aftermath of the thwarted secret mission, the federal government being hip to their existence, a senator's son's involvement and will Sugar flee with his Polyglot pals? Plus, Dennis takes the fifth on a crucial question, his early reaction to where the show was heading, the clues that led to Sugar's real identity, the abundance of handheld camerawork, the controversy over the alien reveal, and the beauty of working with Colin Farrell.

Probably all of us have, at one point or another, had a goal of being fluent in our target language(s). When we think of being fluent, we often think of easily speaking the language, not having to think about what we're going to say, and just being able to spontaneously use the words and grammar we've acquired. There's this weird place I've found myself in with German where I can use the language in all the spontaneous situations I find myself in living in a German-speaking country, and yet I'm not fluent. I am very functional in the language, and I do use it with ease in most situations. But I'm far from fluent. This is a place on my language journey that's both exciting and frustrating. I'm excited to feel comfortable living in the country using the language. I'm frustrated because I can't fully express myself and be me in the language. I can function, but I don't feel like myself. I can't really showcase my personality, exhibit my intelligence, or converse about deep and meaningful things. Being functional but not fluent comes with a lot of complex thoughts and feelings, so in today's episode I start getting some of those thoughts out and guide a conversation that you can use as a starting point for your own unraveling of thoughts. Being functional in a language is a huge milestone. Be proud of that, and don't lose sight of it when you focus on getting to fluency. Links from this episode: Episode 25: What Is Fluency, Anyway?

I'm sure that no matter where we are from, or where we live, we like to consider our place to be pretty diverse. Well my expert today is coming  from an area where just his part of town is home to 60 languages! And he surprisingly speaks many of them quite well. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. My guest today is Joel Dubin. Joel is a Polyglot, meaning he speaks many languages. In a world where many people consider learning a second  language to be challenging, Joel feels like a fish in water using multiple languages every day of his life. He's here to shed some light on the  practices he has found success with, as well as some of the things that might impede our progress when we endeavor to learn a new way to speak. ( Www.Twitter.Com/DubinsLanguages ) ( Www.Amazon.Com "Highly Dysfunctional Companies" ) Lass uns noch viel mehr Sprachen Sprechen! That is to say: Let's speak many more languages. I love languages so so much. If only I was better at speaking any of them! But still, I'd love to hear all of your complaints about either your  own native language, or languages you've learned. In other news, May has begun and the rankings have shaken up a bit from the norm: 1. The United States, now led by California, Georgia, and Oregon. 2. South Korea! This is awesome and I'm so glad to see more listeners coming from that area! 3. England of the UK. 4. Australia, with New South Wales taking an early lead! 5. Ghana, bumping Canada clean off the list! That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!

Today's episode is one you won't want to miss! I recently sat down with Bront'e Singleton, the incredible woman behind The Polyglot Fox, to chat about her experiences learning languages and coaching others, guiding them to finding the right language path for themselves. Bront'e has a long list of languages she speaks and learns, and she is so inspiring. Bront'e shares some of the struggles she faced over the years trying to learn multiple and very diverse languages often at the same time, and she's built her coaching program, The Polyglot Fox, out of the lessons she learned along the way. The best part, I think, is that she demonstrates amazing openness and flexibility in how she guides language learners to reaching their goals at every single level. She understands that each one of us is different, and how we succeed will look different and fluctuate as we go along. Bront'e shares so much wisdom with us in this chat, especially when it comes to language study planning, building confidence, and allowing time for reflection to discover where we are and be honest with ourselves in order to choose the best next step. Speaking with Bront'e was an absolute delight, and I have no doubt you all will get something out of this conversation, as well!

Before 1862, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine, where he was a trained minister and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North's greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg—and told by two surgeons he would die—Chamberlain survived the war, going on to be elected governor of Maine four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College. How did a stuttering young boy come to be fluent in nine languages and even teach speech and rhetoric? How did a trained minister find his way to the battlefield? To explore Chamberlain's fascinating story is today's guest, Ronald White, author of “On Great Fields: The Life and Unlikely Heroism of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.” He is presented from cradle-to-grave in all his ideals, tenacity, and contradictions.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement
