 Has this ever happened to you? You find yourself unfamiliar territory, a new cultural context, struggling to understand and be understood by people whose customs, fashions, and ways to communicate are completely different to your own? Then you’ll want to bookmark our new podcast WORDS GET IN THE WAY. Every week, we will be addressing the peculiarities and bugaboos that are inherent to the Lost in Translation experience, and best (and worst) ways to muddle through the sense of isolation and confusion. Join me, Kurt Lightner, and Martin Lindeskog as we wrestle with the issues of displacement and Culture Shock so commonly experienced by many transplants, travelers, ex-pats, and love hostages.Kurt Lightner & Martin Lindeskog Foreign Language Audiobooks Social Sciences
