About

This is a place for all things language: insights from linguistics, language learning tips, and facts from linguistics that might flip what you thought you knew about language on its head. I draw on my background as a PhD in linguistics (sociolinguistics from the University of Pennsylvania, 2020, where William Labov - yes, that William Labov - and Robin Clark were my advisors). I'll discuss language learning, but also sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, linguistic ideologies and discrimination, and real-world applications of linguistics. This isn't necessarily Ling 101 -- it's a whole lot weirder.

Link to Fluent Forever: https://amzn.to/42AoSoS There's a new edition of Gabriel Wyner's Fluent Forever, and it's a perfect time to revisit. Will it make you fluent? Forever? It changed my approach to language learning ten years ago, and he's updated his approach with even more language learning tips. So if you're not sure how to learn a language, we'll talk about exactly what you can learn from fluent forever to become a polyglot.If that's your thing. patreon: www.patreon.com/languagejones #languagelearning #fluentforever #fluency #polyglot #linguistics #memory #howtolearnalanguage
