Usually, I will try to blog in different languages. This is the first blog post, so I am trying to indtroduce you to the blog. This is the blog for my group on Facebook. My goal for the group is to facilitate language learning. As a language learner myself, I believe that learning languages is not only a great hobby, it is also something that keeps your brain active. Learning languages will help with your memory as well as improve your communication skills.
I am a native English speaker, native in French, and decent in Spanish (but still a beginner, yet I can converse for at least an hour non-stop in Spanish; I did that recently). I am also learning Mandarin Chinese, Irish, Icelandic, Romanian, and Dutch. I will take Biblical (Koiné) Greek next semester and start Hebrew sometime in the near future. I know limited Italian and can read it to some degree (mainly because of having taken French and Spanish, but I have personally studied Italian some). I have tried to learn Portuguese and Japanese and may go back and learn them sometime. I have been out of the United States 5 times (once to Mexico, once to France, and three times to Québec, Canada).
Unfortunately, I don't have much time or many resources to go visit many more countries for a while; I am a graduate student, but I do plan to go back to Canada next summer.
