About For the Love of Language
From the publisher's feed
The podcast where linguists discuss all things language. We address the questions you've always wondered about, like, "what is the most difficult language?" or "which language learning app is best?"
EJ and Stacie both have Bachelor's Degrees in Linguistics. EJ has a Master's Degree in World Languages, and Stacie has a Master's Degree in Linguistics. We love everything language.
