Overview
About Me
Oh... Well, I'm a woman who lives in the UK because of my job. I was born in Salamanca, which is a city between Madrid and Portugal. I like traveling (the journey, indeed, not only reach the destination) and knowing different places (I think that this sounds really common).
I like writing, a lot, and I write letters too, like in the old times.
Interests
I like words, I mean, writing and reading. I studied Philology because I liked Literature, but then Linguistics appeared and I fell in love. That's why I'm kind of crazy with languages and sounds, grammar and languages history, phonetics, phonology and... Anything! On the other hand, it's sad because as Spanish is my mother language, I cannot recognize a lot sounds in other languages ('cause Spanish phonetics is SIMPLE) and I have a really strong accent. So, this is a tough love.
And... I love theatre and poetry (recite too) <3

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I travelled by train around Europe with a couple of friends and a rucksack for 35 days ... It was amazing and I would like to do it again around the other countries I've not visited yet.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach interesting and useless things about languages, Spanish (speacially swearings) and... I don't know if there's something more. I would like to learn how to play the guitar, and more languages.
I can share Spanish food, because I like cooking too :3
