Today we’re discussing language and food as an entry point to new cultures. Shoutout to Duolingo’s owl mascot, Duo, who is super-passionate (maybe too passionate?) on that subject! We chat about how language is a key and history is baked into traditional cultural dishes. Whether it’s the Chinese alphabet occupying the Korean and Japanese languages or Persian preparations in Indian food, we learn a lot by accessing different cultures from unusual angles. Learn with us! And if you are listening for a workout, you can download Podbeat FREE in the App Store and add a beat to this podcast!
