I have a lifetime passion for language that led me to a PhD in linguistics. I've been conversationally fluent in Spanish for decades. Now that I've retired from the work force, I have time to indulge myself in acquiring Italian, the most beautiful language I've ever heard. Imparo l'italiano da un anno e mezzo. Capisco abbastanza, grazie ai miei conoscimenti dello spagnolo, e la verità è che parlo abbastanza, però non molto bene e con un accento spagnolo che mi piacerebbe cambiare. I enjoy talking about language, of course, as well as travel, books, movies, mindfulness, food, and whatever nonsense our imaginations lead us to. . Κατά την διάρκεια της παντεμίας άρχισα να μαθαίνω ελληνικά. Τώρα μου αρέσει η πρόκληση, η οποία δεν είναι μικρή!
