Hi, this is Israel from Hong Kong

I’ve been to the Polyglot Gathering twice + the online one. I’ve always wanted to go to the Conference, but the first time it came to Asia, I had start studying abroad…

I just graduated with a MPhil in music composition from Oxford, and at the moment I’m taking a brief break from the past decade of music creation to do a bit of language stuff. I’m now blogging, teaching various languages, and podcasting on rhapsodyinlingo.com, plus occasionally making videos. I’m active in supporting and promoting learning Cantonese internationally.

I’m most interested in the Germanic languages—German and Swedish are (/were) my strongest—but Polish is my current favourite. I’ve recently also picked up an interest in Sinitic languages and even more recently (as in…since yesterday) BSL.

Hope to meet you all soon!
