Welcome back to the sixth episode of Season 2 of the Polyglot Perspective Podcast!
When learning a language, reading, writing, listening and speaking tie into our learning journey. Among the four, many people believe speaking is the most difficult. Many learners lack confidence, and don’t know how to go about talking to native speakers in their target language.
