About the fragrance of languages and how a sick frog can save your day.

Marleen is a philologist and a communication expert with a passion for storytelling and languages.

On her seriously playful blog, she writes about the joys and benefits of multilingualism and about cultural differences. Her blog stories are based on anecdotes from her life as a polyglot and anchored in linguistic and cultural insight and experience.
