Dear listeners. Today you are listening to the 29th episode of the Ink Well, a podcast where I interview various linguists, teachers, polyglots and other interesting multilinguals. Our today’s guest is Urmi Hossain. Urmi grew up in Italy but she is not a regular Italian. As she says herself, she is Italian by birth yet Bengali by blood. More than a decade ago she relocated to Quebec and she has been living and working there ever since. If you are curious to know more about the Bengali language, the cultural difference between the Italian and Canadian ways of life or the reasons behind some of the tensions that are still plaguing India and Pakistan today – I think you are going to enjoy our today’s show. Also, if you haven’t yet subscribed to the podcast, be sure to do so. It helps to keep the project growing. Let’s get started. ✍️ Urmi's contacts: https://linktr.ee/urmihossain 🎧 Listen to the audio only: http://tinyurl.com/4f4yjr5u 🌐 Get in touch with the host: https://linktr.ee/pauliusjuodis
