Meet Fiel Sahir: a classical guitarist who speaks multiple languages. He’ll show you how much overlap there actually is between learning a language and playing an instrument!
When doing something entirely different, the process can be daunting… What I loved about Fiel’s talk at the 2016 Polyglot Gathering in Berlin was that he brought the process of language learning & his musical training together.
This way, musicians can realize how much overlap there is between a process they’re already familiar with (music) and one which might be new to them (language). The same goes for language learners (if you’re like me and a little musicphobic, this helped!).
