"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.  If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." -Nelson Mandela.

I'm a linguist with the desire to get to people's hearts, and to teach them to get to the hearts of others.  Teaching English in Japan is where this journey begins.  I've been twice, but lived a lifetime; I miss it whenever I'm not there; I want to make it my home, and equip others to use their words to live anywhere that they feel drawn to.
