The problem with the question "How many languages do you speak?"

Have you ever been asked, "How many languages do you speak?" It seems simple, but the answer is way more complicated than you might think! In this episode, we’re breaking down why that question doesn’t quite capture the full story of being multilingual. We’ll talk about the blurred lines between languages and dialects, the quirky overlaps in language families, and why counting languages doesn’t tell the whole story. Join us for a fun, eye-opening chat about what it really means to "speak a language" — it’s more than just a number! If you’re into language and linguistics, hit subscribe!
