  • Summary

  • Ivan Aristeguieta is obsessed with dialects, comparing them to the myriad different ways people have of making Bolognese. Guest Olana Janfa (who designed our podcast art) throws the menu out the window. He’s a self-taught artist and clothing designer from Ethiopia via Norway who refuses to be limited by 'bad English'. He won't hold himself back for want of perfect pronunciation or grammar. For Olana, speaking a second language is all about expression - doing it your own way. English language teacher Ai-Lin Bhugun tries to interest him and Ivan in the correct use of verbs.
