Episode Synopsis

The Lingoholics jive into the latest episode talking about some recent adventures they’ve had including Ian visiting Toronto and Markus being out in Quebec. Cody catches the guys up on the latest happenings in Korea and his eagerness for his upcoming weeklong holiday. Markus recounts how he was able to hold the Quebecois to French conversations simply by stating he wanted to practice. Cody dives into his recent post on the Learning Korean sub reddit and how he’s needed a full new approach to tackle the idiosyncrasies of Korean. He notes how this has been a much different experience compared to his previous languages. Later on the guys get into a conversation of a dopamine detox and how one needs to purposefully distance themselves from phones/social media to enhance the flow states of life. Finally Ian marks a note of appreciation for languages being naturalized into daily life with the example of Toronto Blue Jays walk-up songs.
