In the seventh episode of the Crossing Ideas Podcast, award-winning playwright and author Mark W Sasse compares the language experiences he had between learning French in the United States and learning Vietnamese in Vietnam. He recalls stories of his three different language teachers, who taught him how to respect language and use it to build bridges with people around you. This gets Sasse thinking about the dumbing down of our own language back home in the United States.
