Description

The Language Worker is the result of my deep gratitude to the world for continuing to allow me to work on language projects, teaching, mentoring, and reflecting on the phenomenon of language and what it means for humanity.

The most visible part of the project - the podcast - is an opportunity to learn and share the knowledge I acquired over more than 25 years of doing what I love the most:

working with language.

Here, we focus on Knowledge.
