LINGUASPHINX

​A small online session for people whose sentences just… you know.

​This is not a public speaking workshop.

​The idea isn’t to speak “better” or more “impressively.” The idea is to make speaking feel less like being watched by yourself.

​

​The shape:

• ​Arrival and (dis)orientation

• ​A short talk from me on fluency, and the gap between thought and speech

• ​Low-pressure group discussion around what “good speech” even means to us, and who we’re comparing ourselves to

• ​A couple of absurd little speech experiments designed to make speaking feel less performative

• ​Optional Discord after-room for ongoing language quests, voice notes, and unfinished utterances

​

​90 minutes-ish. Online. 6–8 people max.

​

​Please bring:

• ​any deck of cards

• ​an object that came into your possession by accident

• ​a book you’ve been meaning to read

• ​either a pepper shaker or a plushie animal

​

​Language is unruly.

​Drinks, snacks and (domesticated) animals welcome.
