funny that I started this to hold myself accountable and then got so sick I could barely keep up in school, much less independent studies 🥲

Hello.

I’m Crys, a 21 year old language and culture nerd. Lover of all things anthropological. I’m finally committing to my language studies once more and making this to keep myself accountable.

Some background on my language experience:

My first exposure to studying a language was Latin at age 11. I took a Cambridge Latin course for 2.5 months over the summer and loved it. Shoutout Caecilius.

In between my first and second formal language education experiences, I tried to teach myself Korean — and failed miserably

Spanish for 4 years (7th-10th grade)

9 month abroad in Italy 11th grade that ended up being 6 months because of Covid

senior year independent study in Portuguese

a semester of Arabic in college (i didn’t really focus in school because of mental health issues so I barely count this)

I was an [cultural] anthropology major when I started college and now in my second year I am officially a political science major! Where my language journey takes me is a mystery, but Arabic may be up next semester. :)

Anyway, I’m starting back slowly with just Portuguese right now as that’s the language holding my interest the most at the moment.

Wish me luck 🫡
