Description: People are passionate about language, especially language change, and words matter. And nobody knows this better Peter Sokolowski, who is an editor at the Merriam-Webster dictionary, one of the most famous and most trusted dictionaries in the world. Peter has spent his life immersed in words and their meanings, and all the complications that come along with that work. In this interview we talk about the role of the dictionary, standard and non-standard English, language and culture, how to learn English with a dictionary, and how dictionaries are a sign of human agreement, and sometimes profound disagreement. - Listen to the full interview here (or iTunes or Spotify): anchor.fm/canguro-english/episodes/Learn-English-with-a-dictionary-with-Peter-Sokolowski-en78u4 - Stay updated on how to learn English: Canguro English newsletter: canguroenglish.com/newsletter - Official Facebook group: canguroenglish.com/facebook Instagram: canguroenglish.com/instagram Listen to the podcast: canguroenglish.com/anchor Twitter: canguroenglish.com/twitter - Buy official Canguro English merchandise here: canguroenglish.com/merch
