[Vol. 9] Can We Learn Languages Like Children?

We're embracing youth and childhood this Summer and reviewing and reflecting on childhood language acquisition.

This issue is very powerful, as we talk about what we can learn from language learning at a young age, and how we can put that to use in our language learning now.

Here are some titles you can look forward to in this issue!

📌 Growing Up Bilingual - by Ophelié Guyonvarch
📌 Interviewing Kids: Their Perspective on Language
📌 Children Do Not Study Faster than Adults - Teresa-Rae Chuck

and many more!

📚 The Polyglot Guides is a series of e-books that take an introspective and holistic look at language learning and culture.

They are books made for the language community, by the language community. We bring nuanced stories, opinion pieces, and practical tools for language-lovers and cultural enthusiasts alike. In the age of globalisation, travel, language learning, and polyglotism are becoming extremely popular. The exchange of culture across borders has become so commonplace that most people are no longer phased by encountering difference outside of its predefined context.

However, the discourse surrounding culture and linguistics is still often confined to stereotypes, tourist attractions and crude humour. So, as our motto states, we at Gladly Global set out to deepen the discourse around language and culture, bringing our subscribers into contact with new perspectives and ways of life from all across the globe.
