    S3E5. Delving into the Wonders of CoLang with Yukaiya Nomoto

    A big question we, as linguistics students, have often pondered on is, "what is a way I can be better involved in the linguistics community as a student of linguistics?" Lucky for us, we have a fellow student who is able to give us personal insight regarding our question! Join us this time as we sit down with fellow linguistics student, Yukaiya Nomoto, to discuss his experiences participating in CoLang, the Institute of Collaborative Research, this past Summer 2022.

    S3E3. The Eternal Struggles of a Second Language Learner

Join us this time as we discuss the eternal struggle of being a second language learner, and how we constantly work to overcome these difficulties. This project is developed and hosted by linguistics students Emma Ahmann, Niko Hudeček, and Jen Ruskauff with special help from Niko Attebery and Sage Moore.

    S2E8. Discussing the History of Language Education in New Mexico with Navor Tercero

    Join us this week for an engaging conversation with Linguistics student Navor Tercero as we discuss the history of language education in New Mexico. In this episode we talk about how language education was nonexistent in New Mexico until very recently due to lawmakers and tax payers voting against language education because they didn't want to fund it and the government wanted everyone to speak English. A special thanks to Navor Tercero for joining us for this episode! Edited by Jess Costanza and Fawn Dupras Stay up to date with the WWU Department of Linguistics!
