In this era of globalization, language is not only a tool for communication but also a bridge that connects different cultures. In this episode, our host Lucia will lead us to the Shanghai International Studies University to discuss with college freshmen why they chose to study less-commonly taught languages such as Swedish and Dutch. They will share their learning experiences, practical methods, and how language learning broadens their international horizons. Zhu Yiting shares her bond with Sweden, She lived in Stockholm when she was four due to her father's work, and now feels extremely fortunate to major in Swedish at university. Meanwhile, Zhang Xinyuan reveals her passion for Dutch, as her interest in this country led her to choose this language for learning. Whether through practical communication or utilizing online resources, they are discovering the beauty of language and culture in their way. Let's follow the footsteps of Lucia Craft and explore the mysteries of language and culture, and become bridges that span cultural divides! For more details, please check out the program.
