Hello, my name is Wilf and I absolutely love languages! At the moment, I am learning 9 languages: English (my mother tongue,) French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Hungarian, Arabic, Russian and Swahili. My parents are both English yet I was brought up learning both English and French. About six years ago, I wanted to learn Spanish because I had just gotten my guinea pigs and wanted to learn the language of their origin. To prevent me from understanding what they were saying, my parents spoke German to each other before I learned enough to understand them. After a trip to Budapest, I fell in love with the city and wanted to learn Hungarian and I have always been a fan of Egyptology which brought me on to learn Arabic. I am learning Japanese because the opportunity arose at school and because there are so many Russian books around the house, I couldn't just leave them alone. Also, in September, my sister is going on an expedition to Tanzania and wanted me to learn Swahili for her.
