presenting : wibble

Hello there! I am currently living in Georgia in the United States though I was raised in Britain and I am of Hakka extraction.  Natively I am an English speaker with some knowledge of Cantonese, Hakka and some smatterings of a few european languages.  I'm not sure when I joined #languages exactly, somewhere around 2001 or thereabouts.  I also enjoy travel and speaking with people all around the world which IRC has provided some of, and that I met my wife over IRC too :)

Kate's Presentation

I'm known as River/Matíka on IRC and as Kate IRL. I was born in western Pennsylvania, land of the notorious "Pittsburghese" dialect. My native language is English; I can speak German and Spanish also. I've also dabbled in Swedish, Finnish, Russian, French, Hindi, Japanese and Punjabi. At some point I will probably try, on a more serious level, to take on Finnish and Japanese (though hopefully not simultaneously!).

There's a lot more to say than just that, but I guess if you want to know, you'll have to come and find me on-channel. ;)

Presentation: Silme

Hello. I am Silme, or sometimes Sionnach. I have been on the channel for more than a decade, and am the triggerhappy one that usually wind up making us a new homepage every five years or so (on average).

I think the contributors/regulars should write a short presentation here - saves us the "which languages do you speak and what is your native language?" list every time we get a new person dropping by.

Thoughts?

PS: My languages are Norwegian, Swedish and English fluently, messing about with German, Finnish, Dutch, Danish and Navajo - mainly...
