In this episode, Tobias Westermann, a rower from Ratzeburg in Germany, tells us about how rowing has opened doors for him in his career, about his rowing experiences around the world, and about how, on the one hand, the sport facilitates communication among people of all nationalities, and on the other hand, it requires knowledge of very specific rowing terminology that differs even among native speakers of English. The interview is first in English, up until minute 32:41, when we switch to German, and minute 39:18, when we switch to French. The German and the French parts serve to review what was said in the English part, respectively, in Tobias’s native language and in the official language of the upcoming Paris Olympics. Even if you do not speak German and /or French, please listen in also to these parts and thus participate in the beauty of multilingualism.
