Language nerding:

• My French is around the B2 level
• As such, my Italian and Spanish abilities dangle by two threads: Romance cognates and chronic media consumption
• My German is very basic (but my favorite pandemic movie was a film designed to help learn German)
• My Slovenian is even more basic (and my training data is slightly biased)
• I can read Greek and Cyrillic
• I have attempted to learn Hangul, Devanagari, and the Japanese scripts
• The first non-Canadian language I wanted to learn was Dutch
