Language is our common ground for, well, everything. In a time where there’s so much to disagree about, language is something that brings us together — that rare thing that we all share — and there’s so much more to learn about it beyond vocab and grammar. I’m excited to introduce our linguistics, culture and language podcast, Multilinguish, a show that explores all the fascinating, fun and sometimes weird ways language connects us all.

Meet The Pod Cast

Our five-person podcast team has nearly 50 years of language education between us. We’ve each spent the better parts of our lives trying to learn languages, and learn more about languages. As the content team here at Babbel, we’ve written about everything from how to talk about the weather to the most effective learning methods, conducted interviews with linguistic experts, polyglots, celebrities, and so much more. We’ve collected more delightful, thought-provoking content than we could ever use here on Babbel Magazine. So now, we’re sharing this knowledge with you — now, in audio form on a language podcast.

In addition to special guests and experts, you’ll regularly hear from all your favorites here on the magazine, including producers Thomas Moore Devlin, David Doochin, Steph Koyfman, Dylan Lyons, and (yours truly) Jen Jordan as executive producer.

What’s This Language Podcast About?

Well, language. In all its many forms. Some of our most popular episodes of Multilinguish include:

• Diving deep into language learning in the United States, the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. Are Europeans really better at learning languages?

• Exploring how it feels to be an immigrant in a country that doesn’t speak your language. We get the inside scoop about living and working abroad from three Americans who moved to Germany.

• Finding out whether speaking a certain language can alter the way you think and perceive the world. In this episode, we debate the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.

• Asking why “Is a hot dog a sandwich?” is one of the most insightful linguistics questions of our time. Or not. Up to you.

• Getting the final, ultimate answer as to what the sexiest accents are, both in the United States and the world. Also, asking why we find certain accents more attractive. We tackle these crucial topics in our Season 1 finale.
