Every day I am in awe of international students. Doing a PhD in your native language and home country is hard. Doing it in a non-native language, in a different country and different culture is so much harder. You are not stupid. You are legends.
See you all at the @atanet Conference #ATA64 in #Miami in #October!
I will present two sessions:
- Translators and Interpreters in Democratic Processes and Multilingual Political Campaigning
- Advocacy Strategies: Effective Storytelling for Language Professionals

In 1977, Jorge Luis Borges, one of the most influential 20th c. Spanish-language writers, told William F. Buckley (whose first language was Spanish) his reasons for feeling, age 78, that English was 'far finer' than his native tongue. Right or wrong, I love his savor for language
