    In this special episode of the Talklin NG Podcast, we explore the fascinating world of accents and their impact on interpersonal communication. We discuss accents—whether they’re good or bad—and how they differ from dialects. We also talk about accent-shaming, the challenges of mastering a second language, and the stigma often attached to accents. As a bonus, we dive into a trending video in the Nigerian social media space about diction classes and the concept of "wannabeism" in second language acquisition. Join us for an engaging conversation about language, identity, and how we perceive the way people speak!

    Episode 2: 8 Interesting Things People Believe About Linguistics

    Linguistics as a field is one that is easy to misunderstand, therefore there are quite a number of misconceptions about it. Over time, I've come to realise that Linguists really desire to share their world with non-linguists, but a lot of 'interesting' ideas and beliefs about the field, and linguists get in the way. In this episode, I talk about just 8 'interesting' things that people believe about linguistics and what is actually true of these beliefs.
