78: #78 | Turning Over a New Líofa: Fluency is a Whatchamacallit
from Motherfoclóir · host HeadStuff Podcasts
Gearóidín and Peadar discuss the idea of fluency. Can you really be fluent? Even if you know literally all the words? Gearóidín and Peadar can communicate in Finnish and French respectively by shrugging and being rude, but that doesn't indicate fluency. And as for legal language, that's a whole other ball game. When your life is on the line, are you really fluent enough to understand the language used in court? As usual, practically none of these questions actually get answered as our heroes boldly get distracted by video games, knitting and swear words. --- Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at [email protected].
