Appearances

I appeared on a panel on linguistically informed strategies for learning and teaching ancient languages.

We talked about conlanging, linguistics, and what each can learn from the other.

I wrote an accessible introduction to the linguistics behind comprehensible input-based approaches to learning languages, with special attention paid to ancient languages.

I wrote about the great Old English epic Beowulf and its many treasures both linguistic and non-linguistic.

I got interviewed for the Superlinguo Linguistics Jobs series, and I got to talk about how I built the most unusual job for myself: teaching linguistics online.

A fun conversation with my friend Natasha Lipman about language learning "on hard mode". Topics include:

• Embarrassment as a learning strategy
• The virtues of using children's literature as input
• Integrating language learning & pacing

Topics include:

• The two most important things to optimize for in language learning
• How a bit of linguistic knowledge can save you a lot of learning time
• The indie future of higher education
