Ma vie, ma langue

How can learning a language change the course of a life? What do people who are learning a foreign language dream of? Guided by these questions, journalist Marjorie Bertin takes listeners on a cultural and linguistic journey in this podcast to meet the people who are pushing the boundaries. Whether moving, funny, unexpected, or deeply touching, the unique stories of Inalco students, Ph.D. students, and faculty members prove that openness and the study of a language and culture can affirm one’s identity and transform a life.
