#7 - why you should learn another language
Ever been scared to pick up another language thinking you’re gonna suck at it? Or that you’re too old to learn a new language? Think again. This week Caity and Alex chat about a topic close to their hearts - their love of languages and the doors that have opened to them after acquiring a new one. They also break down how to go about learning a new language, using it to travel and how they can help you develop a greater understanding of your self and even your mother tongue.
