Living in the SF Bay Area. For work I write code, for fun I hang out in the Toki Pona community. I've been involved and speaking Toki Pona for a long time (three years now). I've done a lot with Toki Pona, from translating songs and books to live streaming video games to podcasting, and now teaching!
Me as a Teacher
I've been involved and speaking Toki Pona for a long time (three years now). When I find the time, I help teach in the community, especially chatting with learners and correcting translations.

To learn a language, you have to use the language! This is why my favorite way to teach and learn is conversation practice. Let's talk about something fun!
If you're not very good at speaking yet, we can still practice conversation where you speak English and I speak Toki Pona (this is called crosstalk). This is useful to improve understanding without having to be good at speaking already, because generally understanding comes faster than speaking.
I can also give corrections and answer any questions you have about Toki Pona. Whatever helps you!

I received several helpful resources that really helped me with my particular struggles. I feel more confident with my studies between now and my next lesson!
