Acerca de Papua New Guinea Language Toktok

What's it like to live in a country with more than 830 different languages? Where not many people speak only one language and most of us use two or three or four languages every day? Where most of us use Pidgin English to talk to each other in? The country is Papua New Guinea. I'm Professor Craig Volker and I'm lucky enough to live in Papua New Guinea. Together on this podcast, every couple weeks we'll spend five or ten minutes looking at language here ⏤ local languages, our pidgin languages, and how we use (or don’t use) English. And sometimes even we'll even go beyond our borders.

Soy muy de podcasts. Mientras hago la cama, mientras recojo la casa, mientras trabajo… Y en Podimo encuentro podcast que me encantan. De emprendimiento, de salid, de humor… De lo que quiera! Estoy encantada 👍

MI TOC es feliz, que maravilla. Ordenador, limpio, sugerencias de categorías nuevas a explorar!!!

Me suscribi con los 14 días de prueba para escuchar el Podcast de Misterios Cotidianos, pero al final me quedo mas tiempo porque hacia tiempo que no me reía tanto. Tiene Podcast muy buenos y la aplicación funciona bien.

App ligera, eficiente, encuentras rápido tus podcast favoritos. Diseño sencillo y bonito. me gustó.

contenidos frescos e inteligentes

La App va francamente bien y el precio me parece muy justo para pagar a gente que nos da horas y horas de contenido. Espero poder seguir usándola asiduamente.
