Why I’m a Dinosaur (And How My Work Will Now Evolve)

My lizard and I have a lot more in common than you might think. Yogi is a reddish bearded dragon who looks a lot like a baby dinosaur. And I’m becoming a lot like a dinosaur, too, both in my advancing age and in the fact that I began the Bilingual Monkeys blog over 10 years ago.

“A Little Monkey Business”: Another Fun, Productive Project for Language Exposure
