Self-introduction Miriam

Introduce Yourself Here
#1

Hello,

I’m Miriam from Germany! I’m a language enthusiast and teach Intercultural German Studies at university. I’m interested in art, culture, science, linguistics, literature, philosophy, psychology and all kinds of weird stuff.

My native language: German
My C2 language: English
My B1/B2 languages: Chinese, French, Japanese, Spanish
My A1/A2 languages: Arabic, Dutch, Greek, Italian, Korean, Portugese, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian
I have started to learn: Czech, Finnish, Kurdish, Persian, Serbian

At the moment I’m mainly focusing on my languages on B1/B2 level but when I feel like it, I practice some of the other languages as well. I’m also very much interested in indigeneous languages and have dipped my toe in some but not enough to mention them here.

To find out more about me, you can visit https://www.instagram.com/miriams_lingotopia/. And my blog https://lingotopia.blogspot.com/.

Looking forward to talking with you all and sharing our love of languages!

Hey Matias, nice to meet you. Mucho gusto! Thanks for the invitation, but I’m not a hyperpolyglot. I saw in one of your posts on FB that the requirements are to speak “six languages at fluent level or seven / eight languages at conversational level”. I speak two languages fluently (native and C2) and four on B1-B2 level, which I don’t regard as fluent but just intermediate/conversational. I don’t count languages on A2 level as conversational but just “tourist-level”.
