Show Notes

Even if you don’t think you’re good at math, it turns out that our brains are basically little statistical machines. Learning a new language, whether as a baby or as an adult attempting to become bilingual, means recognizing the underlying statistical patterns within language. Don’t believe us? Take it from the researchers at Duolingo! 

We’re rounding out our first season of the show with Duolingo learning scientist Ben Reuveni, PhD.
