Many of us dream of learning another language. But becoming fluent as an adult is so hard that it can feel impossible.
Here's some good news: our region is full of linguaphiles who have cracked the code on achieving fluency in multiple tongues.
We discuss the different methods of language learning with: linguistics professor Thor Sawin, the Associate Dean of Curriculum for
Middlebury Language Schools; Gabe Wyner, a four-time graduate of Middlebury Language Schools, author of Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It, and creator of the
Fluent Forever app; and Eric Agnero, a journalist and French tutor with
Alliance française.
Broadcast on Wednesday, Jul. 22, 2026, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
