Constructed Languages
Learned Languages
I speak only two natural languages, German and French. I began learning German in High School because of my interest in the German language and culture. In addition to cultural aspects, I have ancestors who immigrated from (German-speaking) Switzerland. I am not fluent in German, but I will try to answer to the best of my ability if you converse with me auf Deutsch.
French is another language I have learned in High School. When my family moved to Portland, OR, the new school I transferred to did not have German :(. Instead of letting my distraught weigh me down, I decided to pour my vigor and love of languages into French, the language of love (and food :d). I greatly enjoyed my new school and my new foreign language. Since I have graduated, I have continued to learn both German and French online with the help of duolingo. I am also not fluent in French, but I am willing to respond to the best of my ability if you converse with me en français.
