lingua franca

Gregory Diehl joins the podcast to talk about his new book (Our Global Lingua Franca), which explores the cultural and economic importance of spreading English as a universal language. It's based on his experience having taught in more than a dozen countries and observing the persistent flaws that prevent the majority of learners from developing even conversational English fluency, let alone true fluency.

Gregory V. Diehl is a business and personal development author who writes for deep thinkers unsatisfied with ordinary approaches to important subjects. His work often deconstructs and challenges cultural narratives and practices.

When he’s not writing, he offers alternative education and mentorship informed by his wealth of diverse cultural experience across the globe. He has taught English and trained English teachers in more than a dozen countries around the world and continues to try to improve the English education system where he now lives in Armenia.

Podcast Information

In this episode of the Vint Podcast, Billy Galanko and Brady Weller catch up with an old friend, Thomas Savre, of Oregon's Lingua Franca winery. After spending time tasting and being immersed in the world's best wines at the likes of Domaine de la Romanée Conti and Domaine Dujac, Thomas finds himself taking the winemaking reigns at Larry Stone and Domonique Lafon's Lingua Franca in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Lingua Franca was recently added to Constellation Brand's premium portfolio of wine brands, alongside the likes of Robert Mondavi Private Selection, Booker, and Schrader. 

We discuss Lingua Franca's future and how acquisition by a major wine conglomerate has increased Thomas's ability to do great winemaking work, what it was like coming up through prestigious Burgundian producers, and Thomas's relationship with Chardonnay (and the grape's potential in the Willamette Valley.)

"The myths, or the received wisdom, about Portuguese language in Brazil is that, of course we know we speak a very different version of the language, but this has always been explained to us as maybe perhaps a defect of sorts?" says linguist and translator Caetano Galindo, author of Latim em Pó, a history of Brazilian Portuguese. "You look deeper into things and you find you have to wrap your mind around a very different reality.”

English has cemented its place as the world's lingua franca, with 2 billion speakers. Will it remain a global language in the future?

Hedvig speaks with Friederike Sell about “International English”, a.k.a. English as a lingua Franca, how to include people with different levels of fluency, and how this can inform our own language learning.

We are joined by a truly magnetic and unique voice in filmmaking, director/writer/actor Isabel Sandoval. She calls in from New York to discuss the film noir classic, Double Indemnity. Isabel has so much to cover on the craft of filmmaking. She discusses the power of the human face as a tool for storytelling, and why it so often leaves dialogue superfluous. She and April dissect Isabel’s latest film, Lingua Franca, and why all of her film’s center around women. Isabel also reveals her feelings on the current state of Filipino cinema, and why she wants to stay away from her films being labeled “poverty porn.” And lastly, Isabel shares her ultimate goal for her career; for her films to be considered their own film genre.
