I am an American but have spent most of my adult life in Taiwan. My background is in linguistics, and I teach English and own an English school. I blog from the perspective of a Romantic Christian, unaffiliated Mormon, and synchromystic. Readers are welcome to contact me directly -- wiltyc at either protonmail or gmail -- but should be warned I'm not particularly good at responding to emails in a timely manner.
