Geopats 11: Eric: from Chinese to English, Japanese and French

Eric (his English name) grew up partly outside of Shanghai, China and then in Shanghai. He is now a Software Engineer that maneuvers through his Shanghai life in a multitude of languages including Mandarin Chinese, Shanghaiese, English, Japanese and French. In this conversation we talk about: 

-how he learned his 1st language-both the spoken and written form 

-how learning his other languages compared to his Chinese 1st language experience

-what languages he reads in and why

 -how technology has changed language learning

-how street signs in China include a script that is not a language at all

and so much more.
