Episode Synopsis "S1:2 - Pop Culture"

So, the tip that I want talk about to today is the importance of culture in language learning. Now, too often we are taught languages in a vacuum. We tend to learn them from overused textbooks, language learning videos, flash cards,etc. We never get to experience the vitality of the language. It goes without saying that languages are constantly evolving and do not exist independent of their speakers. Therefore, I want to touch on pop culture in this episode.
