Michael Lavers
About this episode

Richard Simcott has a strong passion for language learning and is described by Wikipedia as a hyperpolyglot (a word I had never heard of before).
This is an episode you definitely don't want to miss! 

Richard shares some of his tips on learning so many languages. We talk about:

  • How to get motivation to learn
  • What if you're too shy to talk?
  • What if you don't have time to learn?
  • Why children are better language learners
  • And much more!
