Why hello there!

Bonjour, 你們好, こんにちは, 안녕 하세요, Hola, Buon giorno, Dia dhaoibh, Guten Tag, etc...

I'm Tasha, known also as seoulless. I've long considered myself a language nerd in the foreign language sense; every one I wrote in above I have taken at least an intro course in... I just wish I had time to be good at all of them! Even so, knowing just a little bit helps, and that's what I intend to show. I wrote the comic posted here last week, and I hope everyone enjoyed it, because I'm going to try posting one weekly or at least bi-weekly, as well as other anecdotes about my linguistical adventures in Europe. I'm keeping a travel blog as well, but sometimes the interesting bits about language aren't always a good fit there.

Basically I'm a college student with fleeting interest in various languages and the wanderlust to go with it all. I spent half a year in Fukui, Japan as an exchange student in high school, 6 months doing two very different programmes in Suwon and Seoul, South Korea summer and fall 2007, and this spring semester I'm studying abroad again in Montpellier, France. This time I have free weekends, and am trying to see as much of Europe as possible, but since I don't speak every language here, it's the mix that sort of falls out of my brain that makes it all interesting!

At least, I hope I'm not the only one who finds it interesting.
