Life Behind Language: How Heritage Impacts Language Learning

from The Ear Hosted by The Columbia Daily Spectator

With over 150 countries represented at Columbia, it is no surprise that the University must meet a vast array of language needs. For children of immigrants, learning their native language can mean a greater cultural connection. In this episode, reporter Sophia Cordoba speaks with professors and students alike to understand what it means to live and learn as a heritage speaker. ​​Credits: • Edited by Claire Schnatterbeck • Produced by Julia Hay • Music by Obi Okoli • Illustration by Cassie Wang Follow us on Instagram @SpectatorPodcasts and check out our other episodes!
