Naar will then host virtual conversations with Rachel Amado Bortnick\, founder of Ladinokomunita\, and Carlos Yebra López\, Ph.D.\, creator of the Ladino module on uTalk\, a language learning app. \nThe program will include a demo of uTalk Ladino led by Yebra López. Throughout the virtual event\, audience members can submit questions to be answered by all speakers during a Q&A session at the end of the program. \nPlease note your time zone if you are tuning in outside of Seattle:\nLadino Day will begin at 10 a.m. PST / 1 p.m. EST / 8 p.m. Israel \nRegister Now\nAbout the speakers\nRachel Amado Bortnick was born and raised in Izmir\, Turkey\, and came to the United States in 1958 on a scholarship to Lindenwood College (now University) in St. Charles\, Missouri\, from which she earned a B.A. in Chemistry.
