LangFest FB Live

I’ll be joining my friends Tetsu, Joey, and Nicolas — three of the organisers of the excellent annual LangFest polyglot event in Montréal, Canada on their regular FB Live cast. I spoke at LangFest 2018 on intermediate language learning and overcoming language learning plateaus, and hope to share some info on other topics and projects I’m working with, from voice-tech (which I’ll be moderating a panel on at Mobile Growth Summit in February) to digital reading and cognition.

Polyglot Gathering 2018

I'll be attending the Polyglot Gathering 2018 and getting back together with my friends and colleagues from the polyglot community for another few days of fun, learning, and speaking languages!

I'll be presenting a new talk called『らくらくでペラペラよ!』: Japanese through onomatopoeia!", designed to introduce newcomers to Japanese language and culture to the useful and sociolinguistically rich system of Japanese onomatopoeia.
