Between the Lines

A column about the fascinating meeting points of English and Russian, examining the quirks, subtleties, and occasional pitfalls of two languages that reveal as much about their speakers as they do about themselves. In his column, teacher and translator Daryl McCreery also explores the ideas, traditions, and cultural expectations that shape how we learn and teach. Language is a living, breathing organism, while education is a pathway to self-discovery. His column is an invitation to look more closely at both.
