Podcast : What is the value of speaking other languages?

Listen this episode where Wendy Ayres-Bennett (University of Cambridge) and Benjamin Pitt (IAST/TSE) explore this question: what is the value of speaking other languages? The conversation looks at how the languages we speak shape our sense of identity, influence how we think and reason, and affect how we relate to others. We explore how multilingualism can foster social cohesion, support cognitive flexibility, and even boost economic opportunities.
