Getting caught up on stuff I fell behind on while teaching that extra #AdultESOL class January to March.

For example, finally finished a script for #Google Sheets that will create Forms in the given languages automagically. Easiest way I know of to get multilingual Forms.

Next, a Sheets script to create Forms and email to editors and respondents.

Then, I'll create the diplomas in #Scribus. Use #ScribusGenerator (github.com/berteh/ScribusGener) to "mail merge" them.

EASE Nordic webinar: English as the lingua franca of academic publishing
Tues 25 March, 3.30pm CET / 2.30pm GMT

English is academic publishing's lingua franca, but English is the second language for most people in Nordic countries. How do English and Nordic languages influence each other? Has Nordic language culture changed due to this?

I dread facing my English learner and friend Iryna next week. I’m part of the collective American betrayal of her country. My past 3 English learners have been Ukrainian and all three have made the most of their temporary protection by the U.S. to work, care for their children, and contribute to their communities. We are sending them back to misery and perhaps life under a hostile government.
