The World in Words 22: Teaching your kid to read in Urdu and teaching yourself to sing in Spanish
We get all PC on this week’s cast as we ask: did ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser offend Spanish speakers on Monday Night Football? Then we chat with Anneke Forzani, founder of Language Lizard, a dual-language book distributor. (And yes, you really can read Hansel and Gretel in Urdu.) Finally, we check in with singer Dan Zanes who learned Spanish so he could sing the songs on his latest album, Nueva York.
