my life & languages

Learning foreign languages has always been something I have had a fond interest of. The fact that sounds unintelligible to one person can sound perfectly coherent to another fascinates me. Not only that, but a language's intricate, complex, and sometimes simple structure just blows my mind. That's why I have learned several languages  It would be an honor for me to showcase my knowledge surrounding these languages.

japanese

Japanese has been the language on my bucket list to become fluent in. My brother had exposed me to the Japanese lifestyle and culture, and it fascinated me. I wanted to be able to speak the language behind such a wonderful culture. It doesn’t help that my closest friend lives in Japan, and I would like to visit her one day.

I am currently studying Japanese at Binghamton University either for a minor or major. I have taken/am currently taking:

·         Elementary Japanese II with Liu-Sensei,

·         Intermediate Japanese I with Hashimoto-Sensei,

·         Intermediate Japanese II with Ikeda-Sensei.

Here are some websites I recommend checking out for learning Japanese:

·         My Genki Page

·         Erin’s Challenge (エリンが挑戦)

·         A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar

·         Oxford-Duden Pictorial English-Japanese Dictionary

spanish

I took Spanish through since 7^th grade of middle school up to my senior year of high school, becoming practically fluent. Despite disliking Spanish at first because I wanted to learn Italian, I fell in love with the language. It has also become very practical for me, as there is a decent amount of Spanish speakers in my hometown. I took AP Spanish Language in 2023 and got a 4.

Here are some websites I recommend checking out for learning Spanish:

·         Spanish Wikibook

I may plan on making my own set of lessons in the future.

italian

Being Italian myself growing up in an Italian household in a predominantly Italian community, I have always thought about speaking Italian. So to fulfill a language requirement, I took a single semester of Italian, Italian I at Manhattanville College, taught by Professor Alessandro Daniele. We used the textbook “Sentieri, 4^th Edition.”

·         My notes from that class

I may plan on making my own set of lessons in the future.
