Ep. 28: Polyglot Relearning Her Native Language - Interview with Marissa

Episode 28 - Marissa is a Polish-American polyglot whose latest project is relearning her native language.  We talk about learning languages at school vs. on your own, making your target language part of your everyday life, and maintaining multiple languages.  Immigration and questions about identity come up before we dive deep into heritage languages and what it means to be a heritage language speaker.  Marissa is an expert at summing up all the scholarly articles and making them understandable so you don't want to miss this explanation.  She also shares her language learning tip and her favorite Catalan expression, plus a bonus book recommendation if you're learning Polish or would like to. --- Want to know more?  Check out Marissa's blog post about the 9 Most Asked Questions about Heritage Languages --- Follow Marissa's journey on her website Relearn A Language, on her YouTube channel Relearn A Language, and on Instagram @multilingualmarissa --- You can follow us on Instagram @thefutureisbilingual and write to us at [email protected] --- If you enjoy this podcast, please leave us a rating and a review!  It would really help us grow our community and reach more people.
