Biography: Growing up in a family that was frequently on the move, styling myself the "little anthropologist" became my hobby at a very young age. Subsequent and extensive perusals of my father's collection of National Geographic magazines sealed my fate. After spending significant time in Spain, Brazil, Mexico and obtaining a BA focusing on old Iberian epics, I decided it was time to fill in the gaps on the other side of the world and moved to China. Four years and two languages later I received a fellowship for graduate research in Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University Bloomington, where I am currently.

  Big In Japan!

  

  “SpeakSheets were very helpful for our trip to Japan, especially for my friend who has very little familiarity with Japanese.”
  – Carrie S., Ventura, CA

  Smiles and SpeakSheets

  

  “We are traveling to France, near Grenoble, where my future in-laws live six months out of the year. The one downside is we have no French-speaking ability, so we’ll just put our smiles on and bring our SpeakSheets!”
  – Lisa M., Ojai, CA

  Essential for my travels

  

  “It’s great to have my SpeakSheets when visiting a foreign language country. I went to France at the beginning of the year, and now i’m on my way to Italy. What i like is i get the English, then the Italian spelling and then the detailed phonetic info. Also each category of phrases is in an easy to find box.”
