Episode Synopsis
S4 E10: Learning French, Reading French
Welcome to The Book Dialogue.
Thank you for listening in!
Join Sarah and Rebecca in a discussion of reading a book in a second language.
Reading books in the language that they were written allows a reader to fully experience the author’s intended meaning and style. Translations can often lose the nuances and cultural references that are present in the original language.
Sarah and Rebecca believe that learning a second language improves our language skills, provides a deeper connection to the author and subject matter, and enhances our understanding of the cultural and historical significance of the language.
