Congolese Author Who Learned English Listening to VOA

Born and raised in the Republic of Congo, Masachs Boungou emigrated to the U.S. on a Fulbright Scholarship to pursue a master’s degree, went on to receive a PhD in global studies and recently published his second book titled "The Struggle We Carry: Defining our Existence as a Success or Failure." Boungou tells VOA’s Peter Clottey that he learned English by listening to VOA’s language-learning service while growing up in his French-speaking home country.
