It's been almost a year since I last published an episode, but today we are back and ready to relaunch The Future is Bilingual Podcast!

This podcast is for everyone interested in languages and in making the future more multilingual, multicultural, diverse and inclusive.

If you would like to be a guest, please reach out to me at tfibpodcast@gmail.com or contact me via my website https://thefutureisbilingual.wordpress.com/.

You can follow me on Instagram @thefutureisbilingual and @arabicwordbyword

Today's podcast guest is Urmi, a polyglot who speaks 4.5 languages (I love this description!) She grew up in Italy speaking both Italian and Bengali as her first languages. She currently resides in Montréal, the largest city in the French-speaking Canadian province of Québec. She tells us about living and working in a bilingual city and how they know which language to use with clients at work. We discuss how Urmi learned all 4.5 languages and how she continues to maintain them while also working on her newest one (Spanish). Urmi has a YouTube channel where she shares her knowledge about finances, public speaking, language learning and more. Be sure to follow her there and on her other platforms. And don't miss the end of the episode where she tests my Italian and teaches us a useful Bengali phrase ;)
