Lisää 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.
