Welcome to the second episode of our "Ask the Polyglot" series featuring our Resident Polyglot and Language Expert, Shannon Kennedy.

Over on Instagram, we asked you what your language learning questions were and Shannon answers them as a part of this series. Make sure you follow us on Instagram to keep an eye on our stories for the next opportunity to ask questions!

In this episode, Shannon answers:

• What’s the most productive way to learn multiple languages at the same time?
• What is the most difficult and the easiest language you have ever learned?
• What is your main motivation for being a polyglot?
• What is the order of learning a language? As far as grammar, writing, reading, etc...
• Do you think it’s better to learn one language at a time or multiple?
• How do you keep up with languages when you have other things going on?
