Hi there! My name is Phi, Iβm from the UK and Iβm currently studying a Linguistics and Languages degree. My dream is to become a Speech Therapist (also an author, translator and language teacher on the side - I have a lot of dreams, and most of them are about words!) ΛΚβ‘ΙΛ
why have I made this blog?
Since I am a distance-learning student, it can sometimes be difficult to find the motivation to study so I really hope this blog will hold me accountable and keep me productive.
I also really admire the studyblr & langblr communities and hope to make some friends who are similarly passionate about all things languages! ΛΚβ‘ΙΛ
what languages will I post about?
Languages I speak/ am currently learning:
β‘ English (Native/ C2)
Posts will be tagged #English and/or #english resources
β‘ Castilian Spanish (Advanced/ C1)
Posts will be tagged #castellano and/or #recursos castellano
Please note: I refer to the language as Castilian/ castellano instead of Spanish/ espaΓ±ol out of respect for the co-official languages of Spain and also to recognise the languageβs divergence from its Latin American variants
β‘ German (Intermediate/ B1)
Posts will be tagged #Deutsch and/or #deutsche Ressourcen
β‘ Modern Greek (Beginner/ A1)
Posts will be tagged #Ξλληνικά , #Ξλληνικοί ΟΟΟΞΏΞΉ , #greek and/or #greek resources (this is to make navigation easier for those without a Greek keyboard enabled
β‘ Welsh (Beginner/ A1)
Posts will be tagged #Cymraeg and/or #adnoddau Cymraeg
β I will make posts expanding on my background with each language soon β
Languages I hope to start studying soon:
β‘ Catalan
Iβm so excited to learn Catalan but, given its similarities with Spanish, I donβt want to confuse myself. So I intend to start learning it when I have finished my degree in May 2027!
β If you have any questions or advice for me based on these languages, please donβt hesitate to drop me an ask or a message β
Other languages Iβm interested in (warning: thereβs a lot):
β‘ Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Cornish, Manx, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, Dutch, Italian (especially Sicilian), Cherokee, Navajo, Guarani, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Korean, Yiddish, Hebrew, Bengali, Basque, French, Monegasque, Portuguese, Arabic, Ladino, Old/ Middle English, Hawaiian, Cantonese
What are my other passions?
β‘ Books and poetry (I have a book blog @phireads if youβre interested)
β‘ Writing
β‘ Fibre arts (mainly knitting, crochet and sewing - though I really want to try embroidery and beading)
β‘ Baking
β‘ Reading
β‘ Language conservation
β‘ Wildlife (especially British, especially birds)
β‘ Period Dramas
β‘ History (with a focus on fashion history)
β‘ Classics (as in Greco-Roman, my study buddy is a marble bust of the Greek poet, Homer, who is the namesake of this blog)
β Thatβs all for now! β
