In this episode, we delve into the dark depths of the etymology of words like Halloween and Samhain! But fear not, it’s just an excuse for us to talk about Celtic languages and some words that creeped into the English language!
We also covered a hotly debated topic: can you really learn a language in 3 months? And if not, how long does it really take to do so? We’ll check what scientific studies say, but we will also share our own opinions and experiences.
