In today's episode, Urmi takes us on an exciting deep-dive into how she's successfully learned 4.5 languages (you'll learn what that means in the episode!;) She talks about her time-managed ways to study all her languages on a daily basis, really emphasizing the importance of speaking and using the language in order to maintain it and keep it “alive”.
She also talks about how each language makes her feel different and the different techniques she's employed to learn each language - from the natural, to the academic, and the self-taught routes.
Urmi finally shares some GOLD-WORTHY advice, so make sure you stay until the end!
