10. Embracing Germany and building multiple language identities with Manol

In today´s episode, our guest is Manol Roussev. He was born in Bulgaria and lived there until his early youth.

Since he was a kid, he fell in love with the german language and culture. Quickly, he realized that he would end up living in Germany. And that dream finally became true when he decided to pursue a career in scientific academia in a german university.

After leaving Bulgaria, he has built a life in Germany and has felt at home there. During our conversation, we talked about his approach to learning both German and English, his adaptation to Germany, the connection between language and identity, and his writing work.
