Description

In today's episode, I decided to interview one of my students, James Davis-Ford.

James is a teacher of Arabic in the United States and has been learning Portuguese with me for about four years. But he hasn't learned only Portuguese or Arabic — with 5+ languages under his belt, he's a true expert when it comes to learning languages.

In this interview, entirely in Portuguese, you'll get to know:

• The relationship of Americans with language learning in general;


• Stats on California and bilingualism (you may be surprised with the % of bilingual people that might smash the myths that Americans are monolinguals);


• A mind-boggling fact about the Chechen language that beginners face immediately upon starting (!);


• Is it better to learn a language similar to your own or a much different language?


• How to create motivation to keep learning Portuguese and best enjoy the process.


• And much more!

(James is taking on new students of Arabic or English! Just send a message and he’ll be in touch :-)
