el mundo era tan reciente, que muchas cosas carecían de nombre, y para mencionarlas había que señalarlas con el dedo.
- cien años de soledad, gabriel garcía márquez
a reintroduction:
hello everyone! i was formerly @espanhois but have decided to remake just because i could really use a fresh start right now. here’s a bit about me:
currently living in spain
from the us, have also lived in ecuador
last semester of undergrad, studying spanish and portuguese
starting my phd in the fall (hispanic studies)
also interested in quechua, italian, and catalan
the main purpose of this blog is to:
help me refine my skills in communicating what i’ve learned to another audience who isn’t as familiar with the topics i study
track my progress in language learning
document my stay in spain and my future endeavors
keep in touch with all the beautiful people i’ve met on this site
give me a space for book reviews and random literature related diatribes (god knows i need it)
feel free to ask me anything about:
spanish & portuguese grammar or vocab help
latin american literature
my experience in spain and in ecuador
my process for applying to grad school
anything related to undergrad or the us higher education system
i hope you enjoy what i have to say! if we were mutuals on my other blog and i haven’t followed you back feel free to shoot me a message! if we don’t know each other, feel free to reach out so we can be friends!
