Venezuelan Comedian in Australia Ivan Aristeguieta on Doing Comedy and Dating in a Second Language

Life in a Second Language with Spring Day

Spring Day, an American comedian brushing up on her Japanese skills interviews people from all walks of life about their experience living, working, traveling, studying and loving in a second language—often in adult language (especially this episode!) so this podcast may not always be appropriate for young ears.

This is the first episode of season two! Spring first gives the lowdown on her wedding over the two week break and you get to hear a particularly flowery and hilarious outburst of profanity that anyone who has helped a parent set up Zoom remotely can relate to. It is a real treat.

Today’s guest is the Venezuelan comedian in Australia and friend Ivan Aristeguieta. His bilingual language journey is an exciting one unlike any we’ve heard on the show. Since love is in the air we also talk about whether or speaking different languages really causes communication problems. A few minutes of the interview audio quality isn’t great great but stick with it, it gets better and is totally worth it!
