Here you will find many things pertaining to my love for linguistics, languages and anything foreign!

  • Italy - I don't really know why, but I have a fascination for Italy! I'm learning Italian on my own, if I even hearing the word Italy, I perk up, trying to find out more about it.
  • Travel - I love traveling, I could go anywhere.  I live for it! I could go on a trip, get back, wash my clothes, and then leave right away for another trip!
  • Languages- Languages have really sparked my interest and I spend a lot of time looking up stuff.  I wish I could learn more than one languages. I'm hoping it will happen. Online, I have found many language translators, here are just a couple:
  • Andrea's Web Site - This is the link for my good friend's web site. Enjoy!
  • Linguistics - I have been drawn toward this subject and have searched online for sites that could help me obtain my goals.  Here is a link for the Linguist List:
  • Aryn Blase - Aryn is my best friend.  Some people would go so far as to say we are twins.  Our own families have mixed us up! We are a lot alike and enjoy the same kinds of things.
  • Languages I'm interested in learning anything about:
    • Italian -I've already told you about my fascination.
    • Ancient Italian-kind of goes along with Italian
    • Spanish- learning it in school, might go to Spain.  It just seems like a logical idea of a language to study.  There is also the point that it is very similar to Italian (since they have the same base language and all)
    • Welsh- I'm part Welsh...and I'd like to know more about my heritage.
    • Swedish-I'm also part Swedish, and the same goes for Swedish and it does for Welsh
    • French-I want to maybe visit France some day, it would be nice to know something about it, don't you think?
    • Latin-goes along with the Ancient Roman history.
    • Ancient Greek-incase you haven't guessed, this goes with the Ancient Greek history.
    • Greek-same as above.
    • Norwegian-I'm just curious about all places by/in Europe.
    • Scottish-I'm part Scottish, and Scotland has always interested me.
    • Irish-Really close to Scotland, just as interesting.
    • Gaelic (Galician)-it's one of the languages that introduced many of the modern names today.  I'd like to know more...wouldn't you?
    • Finnish-near Sweden and Wales.
    • Danish-same as above
    • Turkish-my best friend, Aryn, has been on missions trips to Turkey and she has told me many fascinating things.  She has definitely piqued my interest.
    • Turkmen-same as above.
    • Ancient Arabic-I've always been interested in Biblical languages and the like.
    • Arabic-see above
    • Aramaic-see above
    • Palestinian-see above
    • Persian-see above
    • Ancient Egyptian-I've always loved learning about Egypt. 
    • Israeli (Hebrew)-see Ancient Arabic
    • Brazilian-I met a guy in Mexico who learned to dance in Brazil (he was really good) I figure, if they can dance that good there...I want to know more about them
    • Portuguese-close to Spanish
    • Ethiopian-Studied Ethiopia a little.
    • Jamaican -Random...I know, but I'd still like to know more
    • Polish-I read an autobiography on a Polish Jew who grew up during Jewish persecution. Sounds interesting.
    • Sanskrit- Another language that introduced many names we still use today.
    • Saudi Arabian -My dad lived there for 2 years
    • Croatian-Don't know anything about it.
    • Raetho-Romance -I saw it in a list of languages...it sounds interesting...I haven't looked into it at all, but I thought it wouldn't hurt anything to write it down.

    I know I can't KNOW all these languages, I just think it would be cool to know things about all the languages and the cultures (even if it's just a little bit).  There are a few on here that I want to become fluent in, but I'm taking things one step at a time.
