One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having never flown out of America or even seen an ocean, I chose a tiny remote island completely at random in the Pacific Ocean on Google Maps and went there to teach for a year. It inspired me to see more of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach a method of learning and teaching languages very quickly, easily, and naturally without ever translating. It's a game I play with strangers to learn their language and have a conversation without them realizing that I've never spoken their language before. It's called "Where Are Your Keys?" I will give you a crash course and demonstrate the power of the technique. You can also learn about it online at www.whereareyourkeys.org
