General Introductions Post
Apr. 4th, 2010 06:16 pmWelcome to
language_learning!
This is a general post where we can introduce ourselves and meet those who speak or are studying the languages we want to learn. As the community grows, I will add language-specific posts geared towards matching people up with conversation partners, but let's start here and find out who on DW is learning a language!
Suggested format (feel free to modify at will):
Name you prefer:
Location:
Home country:
Languages you speak/sign/read/understand:
Languages you have studied or are studying:
Current language learning goals:
Favorite language learning tool or resource:
Would you like others who are learning or speak your target languages to add/contact you?:

Home country: USA
Languages you speak/sign/read/understand: English, some Latin
Languages you have studied or are studying: French (which I have mostly forgotten), Latin, and next semester I'll be learning German and Japanese as well as Latin.
Current language learning goals: fluency in Latin
Favorite language learning tool or resource: my Latin book, Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, is completely awesome. For figuring out Latin translations of modern words, Wikipedia and Wiktionary between them do a halfway-decent job.
Would you like others who are learning or speak your target languages to add/contact you?: that would be awesome!
