I-F Journal

This Journal records how I learned Ukrainian during my Fulbright year in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. I was teaching English, Linguistics and Modern American Literature at Vasyl Stefanyk Pre-Carpathian University from September 2006 through June 2007.

Resuming the I-F Blog

It's been over a year since I returned to the US and I am resuming this blog.  My focus has now changed to describing the journey of learning Ukrainian while I was there.  I have a working manuscript of stories, anecdotes and phrases in context, along with notes on linguistics where it helps me to understand the process of learning what I think is a rather difficult language to learn.  Come back soon.  This is a work in progress.

The working title of the manuscript is:  "A Hundred Grams and a Doughnut:  How a linguist learns Ukrainian."
