Polyglot Conference NYC 2015: A Linguagala!

More than 400 language nerds took over Manhattan in October.

I loved the Polyglot Conference, held October 10-11 at the SVA Theatre on 23rd Street. About 425 people from around the world landed on the isle of Manhattan for two days of language talks and linguatastic extracurriculars. It made me happy.

We recorded the conference presentations, which are now going up one at a time on the Polyglot Conference YouTube channel. You can attend vicariously by visiting the channel here. Quite a few more remain to be posted, but they should be up soon.

I am tentatively heading back to my language studies with Pashto. I say tentatively because I feel as though I might need a little bit of a holiday, but I will just see what happens. I have already been secretly studying and accumulating materials for several weeks.
