Enjoying the start of the SWL IX conference in Lima, but most significantly enjoying being back at sea level

Next stop is the SWL IX conference in Lima, and I'm obviously very excited to meet all my multilingual colleagues and remember that 1.5 languages is not that impressive.

I've been lucky enough to spend a month in Sucre, Bolivia, learning spanish and exploring the region. I've had so much fun here and I'm so grateful to everyone who pretended my Spanish was understandable, when really it was just latinate English words in a Spanish accent.

The university did an interview with one of my recently graduated PhDs, Axel Palmér, on the linguistic evidence for an Indo-Slavic subnode. Congratulations to Axel with a very successful defence! https://t.co/23VAoqdrHr
