Ep 6: A Conversation with Igor Maia (from Brazil)

March 18, 2021 • Season 1 • Episode 6

Hello all,

Welcome to Episode 6 of Forked Tongues!

Thanks for your patience. It took me a bit longer to get this episode ready than previous ones - I'll blame it on the (French) winter blues...

I shouldn't have delayed though, because as you'll discover my guest for Episode 6 is a very interesting, intelligent, warm and easy-going Brazilian, Igor Albuquerque Maia.

Our conversation took us on a journey across countries (France, Brazil, Australia, among others), touching on a wide-variety of subjects from Igor's background in Brazil, his arrival in France, learning French, switching between languages and the importance of being yourself when speaking a foreign language, as well as the usual Forked Tongues subjects of food (French and Brazilian), films and books, and much much more!

So I hope you enjoy my discussion with Igor.

Thanks for listening!
Derek
