16 - Help! I'm writing a novel in 3 languages

Update: 2024-02-12

Description

Hello friends, welcome.

Omg, this novel of mine is a real challenging linguistic something! 🙀

It l includes English, Hindi and two varieties of Spanish.

Oh, and it's also... written in verse! And there are plenty of calligrams.

(Watch this awesome video about calligrams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ0x1YOuMwQ )

Why did I enclose myself in this linguistic labyrinth, you ask?

Short answer: because I'm a rebel.

Long answer: listen to the episode to find out! 😉
