Hi for my first note

I am passionate about being a/a passionate hyper-polyglot and philomath. <em>(haha did your dictionary churn that one out!? I'll give you 'philomath' too for good measure)</em> I like not only learning new languages, but also learning about thought, feeling and expression in other cultures/how other cultures think feel and express <em>('express' needs an object since it is strictly transitive; think and feel may go without)</em>.

Hi for my first note

Passionated I am passionate about being a hyperpoligot hyperpolyglot. I like not only learning new languages, but also how people from [1] other cultures think, feel and express themselves [2].

----------

[1] A culture does not think or feel, therefore I have updated your sentence to refer to people from other cultures.

[2] "Express" is a transitive verb, meaning it must precede the object to which it relates. For example, the following sentence is incorrect:

"I find writing poetry is a good way to express." (Incorrect.)

We must state the object that is being expressed by poetry:

"I find writing poetry is a good way to express my emotions." (Correct.)
