About this episode
In this episode we delve into the crucial issue of transfer of training, exposing a significant shortfall in the educational system.

Latin doesn't enhance proficiency in other languages, and grammar's promise to improve language skills falls flat. The evidence, though not a law of nature, indicts teaching practices.
