Podcast Episode 24: European Day of Languages Live!
Welcome to our first ever LIVE episode of the Creative Language Learning Podcast! In episode 24, we treat you to a piece of the European Day of Languages broadcast which was the first time ever that Lindsay and I tried something like this.
There was so much going on:
- Music!
- Live comments!
- A Revival of the Languages vs. Dialects Debate!
- Reports on Log Sawing in Germany!
- Chat about our Grandparents!
European Language Charts!
Instead of the Creative Language Learning Podcast tips, this episode featured a collection of as many European artists and European language songs as we could find. Here is our Spotify playlist for hours of Euro music fun.
