Languages… what makes them so important?

#015 - Remarkable community indeed. In this episode of the Berkhamsted Spotlight we’re talking French, Mandarin, maybe Italian and Japanese, well, we’re talking languages. Dr Nick Startin talks to us about the importance of learning languages in 2021, how French people view British people when people from the UK try to speak French, even if at a low level, why Mandarin is important today and what parents can do to encourage their children.

And we hear what Nick’s remarkable moment has been at Berkhamsted and, as always, I ask what he’s changed his mind about in the last two years.

So come with me now as we talk languages with Dr Nick Startin.
