Polyglots vs. Translators
Join authors Michael Erard ("Babel No More") and Nataly Kelly ("Found in Translation"), as they discuss extraordinary language learners (hyperpolyglots) and the role that translation plays in our everyday lives. "Babel No More" examines what language is, where it lives in the brain, and the upper limitations of our ability to learn and use languages. "Found in Translation" shines a spotlight into the nooks and crannies of everyday life to reveal that translation is right there, hidden just beneath the surface.
