Great News! Your hobo linguist friend Terry is back in town!

Hello Tempe Neighborhood potluckers, Terry is back in town. He'd like to invite everyone to join a conversation event to discuss whether learning is still relevant today. Join Terry and some of his polyglot linguist friends for a fascinating discussion about language learning and linguistics in the era of A.I.

A native of Taiwan, but now a resident of the Tempe/Phoenix area, Terry's work and research takes him all over the world. When he is in town, it is a rare and wonderful treat when he hosts an event and talks about his latest adventures.
