SAVING LANGUAGE THROUGH FOOD
Hey, I am the linguistic foodie! I am passionate about both food and language, so I thought I would write a blog on the combination of these two things. In this blog, I will explore the value of language through the tastes of different cultures in my hometown of Rochester and beyond. Through delicious food, I want to raise awareness on the dangers to linguistic diversity and help save endangered languages.
