In this episode Dr Bisson speaks with Dr Angelos Lengeris about phonological abilities and their importance for language learning. Join us to hear about how we can train our ear to hear sounds that do not exist in our native language and how this then helps us speak with a more "native-like" accent. Can you help us by completing our survey? We would like to know what you liked about this episode, what you would like to hear about next and also whether you have encountered any barriers in your language learning journey. Click here for the link to this 5-minute survey. Follow Dr Bisson on twitter:  @mjbisson Or get in touch with her via email:  [email protected] The Language Scientists Podcast website: languagescientists.our.dmu.ac.uk Link to Dr Bisson's research lab: sites.google.com/view/languagelab-dmu  Visit Dr Lengeris research webpage or get in touch via email: [email protected]  Link to research article on training phonological abilities Lengeris, A.
