I was delighted to get the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Krashen in Montreal to discuss a range of topics, in particular the extent to which his theories of language acquisition can be observed in the learning techniques of polyglots - people who learn multiple language. In this fascinating interview, you'll hear about: • Krashen’s background with music, and the relationship between music and language learning • Do language teachers have an obligation to learn languages themselves? • The languages that Krashen speaks himself • The role of “comprehensible input” in language learning • What does he think of the polyglot community? • What’s the one language mystery that Krashen would like to see solved?
