Learning Languages

Learning another language is challenging. There are strategies and activities that can help, and I’m happy to guide you.

• We don’t get a childhood in another language, unless we’re simultaneously bilingual. Allowing ourselves to be messy and creative makes a huge difference to the experience and success of learning another language. Let’s have fun!
• Memorizing vocabulary is tedious. Maximizing opportunities while minimizing duration can increase uptake of vocabulary while diminishing the kind of boredom that discourages participation. Let’s be creative.
• Exploring another way of thinking is one of the most rewarding aspects of learning another language. I can use my expertise in cognitive linguistics to guide you through the ways in which languages change our minds—for the better. Let’s expand our possibilities.
