ABOUT ME
Enjoy meeting new people and doing new things. Five years of Spanish are in my pocket as well as one semester of French. I also learned some Korean while teaching English in South Korea.
Enjoy wine.

Teach, Learn, Share
Small phrases from any language are interesting. Really, anything that anyone has to share would intrigue me. Random knowledge is also a lot of fun.
