Learning a Language Through Another Language (Laddering)
The Fluent Show
Today I am answering a listener question from Jessica who is an English native speaker, but so advanced in German that she wants to use it to learn a third language, Spanish. Can you learn a language through another language? Of course! Here are some advantages: You boost your 2nd language as well as your 3rd - double result! Sometimes you can find much better materials, for example when learning an African language through French (more about this here (https://www.fluent.show/122)) You gain a fascinating new perspective on the language you have been learning for many years Some people say this is a more efficient way to learn, but is that really true? In this episode, I've got some answers and I share my own experiences of language learning in different settings. Thank you to Sophie for this episode introduction in Thai.
