Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hello! My name is Jacob Kodner, and I am currently a third year PhD student in Linguistics at neighboring Harvard University! I am from the Bay Area, California and can speak Mandarin Chinese as well as a bit of Korean, and my research interests are in the syntax (grammatical structure) and prosody (intonation & melodies) of languages like Korean, Kazakh, Mongolian, and Manchu.

After teaching English in rural Taiwan this year, I discovered my passion is teaching language and linguistics, so I am very excited to share with everyone the beauty & diversity of human languages!
