My name is Joshua Paetkau. I am from Canada, although I grew up in South America. I am currently working part-time, studying part-time, and raising two beautiful children. I am learning a language because I love languages,I love the challenge of learning, and because different languages open windows onto different ways of seeing and experiencing the world. On italki I am looking for people who want to share the beauty and stories of their mother tongues, and ruthlessly correct me in my attempts to learn it.

    That link did not lead me to an article about hockey, it led me to the dregs of Internet subculture.

    Hockey is fast-paced and exciting and, if you're Canadian, a part of national identity. Also it is a good way to cope with the dreariness of long, cold, dark winters.

    哲学的章士钊。

    我找人来讨论章士钊的哲学。 我也很感兴趣论章士钊的在线资源。

    Sorry if my Mandarin is completely incomprehensible. I am not anywhere close to the level where I should be discussing sophisticated philosophies in Mandarin. Yet I have a passion for political philosophy, and what little I have come across of Zhang Shizhao's work has intrigued me a great deal. I would love to try and read some of his writings, whether in translation or in the original. If anyone knows of anywhere to find that, particularly in an online form, please let me know.

    Ahora, en español estoy leyendo la <em>Antologia En Verso y Prosa </em>de Gabriela Mistral. La primera parte del libro se trata de poemas de desolacion. No puedo decir exactamente que es un gusto leerlos, son poemas fuertes que tocan al soledad y desesperacion del alma.

    Eid Mubarak

    Today Muslims from all over the world will celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
    Ramadan is the most auspicious month of the year, and Eid al-Fitr is also like New Year for us Muslims.
    Muslims of various ethnic minorities in China will celebrate Eid al-Fitr, including the Kazakh, Uygur, and Hui peoples. 
    Here I wish all Muslims around the world Eid Mubarak.
