For English Language Speakers

Do you remember what it was like to learn English? No. Because you were a baby. But RadioLingual lets you re-learn vicariously that crazy language you picked up a long time ago.

 

Listen to non-native speakers debate the difference between "give up" and "give in." Listen to an interview between a Chinese speaker and a Spanish speaker. Hear popular music re-written and bilingual-ized. Find out what an American accent sounds like to a Russian speaker. Listen to the issues that matter to people who don't share your mother tongue.

 

And let your own voice be heard! Check out the questions posted by English learners and post your answers. Leave audio comments directly on the web, or at our call-in line: 571-482-7806. Tell a story to illustrate why "nuts" and "bananas" both mean "crazy." Use an analogy to explain the difference between "house" and "home." Suggest music that defines the word "whimsical." Have fun! We'll let you know if we use your material in our podcast and/or broadcast.
