My language learning journey

I'm passionate about exploring different cultures through their languages. Each language has its own unique beauty and challenges.

Did you know learning a language can have cognitive benefits? Studies suggest that language learning can improve attention and executive function, which can be particularly beneficial for adults, and may even aid those with inattentive type ADHD by strengthening areas of the brain that deal with focus and memory.

Languages I'm dabbling in

French

I love the fascinating overlap between French, English, and Spanish.

Malay

The simplicity of Malay's word order and adjective placement is so refreshing.

Korean

Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is a stroke of genius! Its design reflects the articulation of sounds.

Qur'anic Arabic

The depth and nuance of Qur'anic Arabic are unparalleled. Words carry layers of meaning that can't always be captured in English.

Esperanto

The Esperanto community is super friendly, which is one of the reasons that drew me to it.
