The Danger of Overconfidence

This is a podcast about languages and language-learning from a unique perspective.  Since 2018, I have spent thousands of hours studying (to varying degrees) 16 languages (!), and I have learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, from apps to websites to books to YouTube channels, podcasts and more.  Join me as we explore the process of language learning, as well as the languages themselves (the true stars of the show!).
