The Language Learner

We meet Gin Thawng. The 66-year old is a refugee from Burma living in a Nashville apartment with his ailing wife, a baby grandson, his daughter-in-law and son. A graduate of an innovative ESL program-on-wheels, Thawng shows us something about the power that language has and how human connection is bigger than just words.   Editing by: Emily Siner and Mack Linebaugh Photo by: Brad Butcher Production Assistance by: Bailey Robbins ​Music by: Podington Bear and Dan Burns Sponsors: Yazoo Brewing Company and Magnolia Record Club Leave a rating or review in iTunesNeighbors is a member of The Heard Neighbors is from Nashville Public Radio
