Attached: 2 images The year of the wood snake handed my a** to me in a very unexpected way. I spend all my time telling language educators that their expectations are too low, that their students can become fluent much faster than they think! But then... I said something was impossible...which we then immediately achieved...and I can't frickin believe it.
So, signing up for this course (taught online) this Fall. I'll be auditing the course because it's all about the knowledge for me at this point (and I want there to be enough students to justify teaching this. 25 slots, 6 filled already).

Did you know?
The Hawaiian language was nearly extinct in 1978. Fewer than 50 children were native speakers.
Today it has over 18,000 speakers and its own network of immersion schools — called Pūnana Leo (language nests).
Language can come back from the edge. The Hawaiian revival is one of the most remarkable stories in modern linguistics.
