In this episode of the Refold Podcast, Clayton is joined by Mike Campbell, the CEO of Glossika! Mike is a passionate polyglot who founded Glossika to satisfy his own language-learning desires. Glossika is a program that provides thousands of sentences voiced by native speakers, and is commonly used for shadowing practice or for exposure to massive amounts of sentences to help make immersion more comprehensible. While a paid subscription is required for most languages, Glossika is also committed to preserving less common languages. To this end, they offer Glossika for free for several lesser-spoken languages such as Welsh, Catalan, Gaelic, Wenzhounese, Kurdish, and more. Learn more about Glossika: https://ai.glossika.com/

Today, Clayton is chatting with Vernon. Vernon has a unique story of moving to Kenya as a child, where he picked up Swahili completely through immersion. Growing up as the son of a translator, he moved to Kenya at a young age and was surrounded by language learning. His experience moving to different countries in the African continent gave him a very unique view of language, culture, and language learning. After moving back to the UK, he tried learning Spanish but was frustrated with his progress. His experience language learning as an adult started off with traditional methods, but he found he wasn't happy with his progress. So he decided to try immersion learning with Refold, and he hasn't looked back!
