Join us this week for an engaging conversation with Linguistics student Navor Tercero as we discuss the history of language education in New Mexico. In this episode we talk about how language education was nonexistent in New Mexico until very recently due to lawmakers and tax payers voting against language education because they didn't want to fund it and the government wanted everyone to speak English. A special thanks to Navor Tercero for joining us for this episode!
