1 - Immigration and local language
26 AUG 2022 · In this first episode, I invited Ömer to talk about the difficulties of immigrants to learn the local language. What are the main problems and how do migrants overcome them? Can an immigrant blame themselves for failing to speak the language or can they blame the environment?
