In This Episode: Luca asks: "Dear Olly, in 2018, shortly before your Italian project, I asked you whether you would become a full-on Krashenite. Now, I think it is clear that you’ve pretty much come over to our side; however, I would like to ask you about your current position on speaking early. Do you now think that one should use italki at the later stages of language learning; or would you still say it makes sense to start speaking early?"

In This Episode: When I first discovered the world of online language learning, I spent hours watching videos from different polyglots online. It was amazing to finally find others who shared a passion for languages like me. Over the years though, I watched less and less of this stuff. I guess there comes a point where you’ve heard it all before. Recently, though, there’s a guy who I’ve been paying close attention to. He’s young, but very articulate, and has developed an impressively complete view of language learning: Matt vs Japan is all about Japanese, but I wanted to talk to him about language learning in general, and so I sat him down and plied him with questions. This is one of the best interviews I’ve done for a while, so I hope you enjoy.
