It’s a mammoth wide-ranging episode with Aussie language legend Ace Buck who is an engineering and language student and a standout personality in the online polyglot community with ample insights to offer. Ace begins telling of his language journey with French, Spanish and Mandarin and the discussion grows to encapsulate areas such as taking on heavy workloads, coping with lost study time, public speaking in a new language and weaving languages into one’s social life to have deeper connections. Ace brings the pod discourse to new heights with a galaxy brain reconceptualization of measuring language proficiency and converges ideas from computational linguistics to quantify vocabulary. He also gets the guys to reflect on their podcast experience and shared love of languages with each other.
