I speak English, Italian, and Spanish. I'm a native English speaker from Ohio, United States, so I have a pretty standard, non-regional American accent.
I speak Italian at a level 8, on a scale of 1 to 10. I got my Bachelor's Degree in Italian..
I took Spanish from 7th grade through high school. I had 2 Spanish-speaking room mates in college.
I'm very interested in languages and linguistics--any language. I would love to learn a little of every language. It makes SO MUCH of a difference even knowing one or two words in someone's native language. I have received countless warm, pleasantly-surprised smiles by merely saying "xie-xie," or "shukriya." I have a great respect for different peoples of the world, and love learning new things about all cultures. We are all one. We all just need to realize that, and celebrate our differences rather than go to war over them! Ahem. Anyway, I am really excited to meet you and chit chat in foreign languages and stuff, so let's get to it!
