The House of Many Languages

from The Europeans | European news, politics and culture

This week Dominic is furious about the EU vote on whether or not veggie burgers can be called veggie burgers, so we're distracting him with languages. Interpreter extraordinaire Alexander Drechsel is here to discuss the weird English dialect that has developed in Brussels, and whether the EU of the future will be anglophone. Plus, Sarkozy, Sweden's big-spending military, and adorable nuns. Thanks for listening!

Alex is on Twitter @adrechsel, and you can get tickets for his November 18 debate on the role of English in the EU here. Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | [email protected]
