RP491: Język szczęścia
In this episode of the Learn Real Polish podcast, I will talk about the language of happiness, related to the Pirahã language spoken by a tribe in the Amazon.

Many linguists believe this shows how language shapes our thinking and emotions, including happiness. I will explain what the Pirahã language is, its key features, and how it impacts the way people experience life. As always, I will use simple Polish to help you learn more easily.
