I want to be a polyglot! A polyglot is someone who has working knowledge of several different languages. I’ve always wanted to pursue learning more than my first language, which is English. In high school I took Spanish and wanted to do a Spanish minor during my bachelors degree, but music school is HARD and I had a credit limit on some of my scholarships so guitar it was, which was totally fine. While I do much prefer classroom learning environments and private tutoring and such, I’ve been diving deeper into Spanish more on my own and am starting to get more into other language.

After thinking about it for awhile now, I have at least 5 languages that I hope to gain working knowledge of over the next few years. I’ll write some posts later about the resources that I’m using to do this, but I wanted to share what languages I’m interested in learning and where my knowledge is of them now.

Spanish-As I mentioned, I have some knowledge of Spanish already from some classes I took in high school and then through self-study.
French-I know some French words from doing a few lessons on Duolingo, but don’t know anything.
Hebrew-I have a Hebrew language learning book that I’ve had for way too long so and have held onto it because I know that I’ll get to it eventually.
Japanese-I don’t know any Japanese so super excited to get to learning some.
Latin-My friends took Latin in high school and I was always jealous that I couldn’t take both Spanish and Latin. My novel interest in linguistics peaks my interest in learning some Latin.

For now, I’m focusing primarily on Spanish and will likely start working on the Japanese tree in Duolingo and some other things too.

So, these are my polyglot pursuits!
