This is the second part of my interview with Gabriel Clark, a blogger, podcaster, and language teacher.

I have split our conversation into two parts because it became fairly long. In the second part of the interview we talk about:

* What learning another language has taught Gabriel about his own language.

* How word order is really important in English for communicating meaning

* Why pairs of words always come in a certain order (ablaut reduplication) and how this rule can take precedence over adjective rules

* Gabriel’s book, “102 little drawings that will help you remember English rules forever probably”, and a description of some of the drawings
