Erich Groat has recently arrived from the US to join the staff of English teachers at the American Language Center. He's no stranger to Fez though, as he studied Arabic here earlier in the year. Here's what Erich has to say about himself:
"I'm a musician, a theoretical linguist (in theory, at least, anyway), and (more practically) a teacher of linguistics and the English language, now working at the American Language Center and living in the medina. I've come to Fez to escape being consumed by the ever-expanding, ever-dying Boston metropolitan area, to correspond with faraway friends, to make more music and more friends, to learn at least two kinds of Arabic, and to wander the streets of a truly living city, a place where the ancient and modern coexist and transform each other in most unpredictable and engaging ways."
Welcome, Erich. We think the students at the ALC are going to enjoy their new teacher.
