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.

This is without a doubt the best method I've ever used, and I hope it works for you to learn a language quickly and easily, but also ACTIVELY from books. patreon: patreon.com/languagejones #languagelearning #linguistics #neuroscience #memory #memorization #languages #polyglot
