I'm sure that no matter where we are from, or where we live, we like to consider our place to be pretty diverse. Well my expert today is coming from an area where just his part of town is home to 60 languages! And he surprisingly speaks many of them quite well.
Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.
My guest today is Joel Dubin. Joel is a Polyglot, meaning he speaks many languages. In a world where many people consider learning a second language to be challenging, Joel feels like a fish in water using multiple languages every day of his life. He's here to shed some light on the practices he has found success with, as well as some of the things that might impede our progress when we endeavor to learn a new way to speak.

Lass uns noch viel mehr Sprachen Sprechen! That is to say: Let's speak many more languages.
I love languages so so much. If only I was better at speaking any of them! But still, I'd love to hear all of your complaints about either your own native language, or languages you've learned.
In other news, May has begun and the rankings have shaken up a bit from the norm:
1. The United States, now led by California, Georgia, and Oregon. 2. South Korea! This is awesome and I'm so glad to see more listeners coming from that area! 3. England of the UK. 4. Australia, with New South Wales taking an early lead! 5. Ghana, bumping Canada clean off the list!
That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
