Refold Podcast

This week on the Refold Podcast we're introducing you to one of our favorite Refold community members, Skypon! He's an Italian Refold Community admin, polyglot, and heritage speaker of both Spanish and Icelandic!

We really enjoyed chatting with Skypon this week and we hope you find the conversation as enlightening as we did!

Ever wondered what it takes to get into linguistics? In this episode of the Refold Podcast, Clayton is joined by Chris Sundita, a language learner turned linguist.

Chris, from a young age, has always been passionate about languages. The first foreign language he delved into was Spanish, then he explored his Filipino heritage languages, and his love for languages only grew stronger from there.

Tune in to learn about what it means to be a linguist, Chris's journey from being a language learner to becoming a linguist, and so much more!

Hey there, language learners! Today's episode of the Refold Podcast is a real treat. We're honored to have Koalani on the podcast. She's a native Greek speaker who learned to speak English and Spanish with a near-flawless accent -- all without the internet! In addition to Greek, English, and Spanish, she also speaks Dutch, Finnish, and Swedish. Tune in to hear them chat about Koalani's passion for languages and the strategies she used to acquire so many languages!

The Refold Podcast is BACK! This week, Clayton is joined Krystal, a Chinese heritage speaker who rediscovered her love of Chinese because of webnovels! She's also the admin of a thriving Chinese learner Discord community that is dedicated to learning Chinese with native content.

The community she helps manage is known as "The Heavenly Path," but it more directly translates to "Learning Chinese with Chinese TV."

Tune in to listen to them chat about her history with languages, what it was like growing up as a heritage speaker in the UK, and how she learned a language with immersion!
