About the white guy
Kinda like a crazy old cat lady. Except I’m not that old, and it’s languages running around my place rather than cats. And I’m a guy.
Seriously though, languages are what I do. I sometimes feel that I am not good enough at any of them and I’ll probably never be entirely satisfied. There is no end-game, you never finish as there is always stuff you don’t know. What I try to do here is impart a few bits of wisdom as there are loads of time-wasting, frustrating mistakes that almost everybody makes when learning their first new language and I can certainly steer you around all the ones I encountered.
