I’m starting my doctorate this week, and I’d love to share this new journey with you.
I recorded a video to share the news and explain why I decided to pursue a doctorate.
Although today’s topic isn’t the Portuguese language, the video is entirely in Portuguese, so it’s great for listening practice!
Also, if you’re curious to learn more about my experience as a master’s student and now a doctoral student in applied linguistics, I think you’ll enjoy this video.

Here's my new channel where I talk about language learning and language teaching: youtube.com/@languagingwithvirginia

In this video, I explain why I decided to go back to school and get a master’s degree 3 years ago: youtu.be/hv__yrXe_7s?si=l2xMtu-tnRtWruly
