  • Amazing companion to an amazing website

    I can't believe that omniglot.com isn't as popular as it should be. It is easily the best resource for anything language-related. I'm a conlanger and this helps me a lot. I'm only a teenager but my dream is to become a linguist and to help save endangered languages. Amazing podcast. So underrated!

  • Mi amas ĉi tiun podkaston

    Omniglot is one of the most overlooked free language resources on the planet. Simon’s voice reminds me very much of an interactive planetarium toy I had as a child…strangely nostalgic and relaxing to listen to him talk linguistics and etymology. Can’t wait to hear more!
