OLLY RICHARDS
About this episode

Adriana asks: "Do I have an advantage in language learning from my Italian as a child?"

In Today's Episode:

  • Yes! Your brain formed in Italian, so there's no way the language isn't still in there somewhere!
  • It's difficult to say what your advantage will be
  • Your biggest opportunity is to reconnect with things from your childhood, as that will help to form mental connections and also be a source of motivation
