Pete's Intro

Post by Shakuhachi »

I have been here before but have no idea about my username or password. So I registered again.

I love languages but have a limited capacity to learn them. In my 68 years I have dabble din Latin, Italian, Greek, Spanish. Sanskrit, Chinese and Hebrew. I think that is all. My best progress has been in Spanish and Latin.

So I am primarily here for Latin. My progress has been so sporadic it is difficult to determine what level I am at. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1=beginner, 10=fluent, I am probably about 4.

I also play classical guitar, shakuhachi and bansuri flute. I am probably same level with them. What I have found is patience. Even at such a low lever of proficiency I can still enjoyments and continue to slowly learn.

My method has been reading the Psalms. I am pretty familiar with them in English. They are short sentences. And so not too difficult. I can build my vocabulary.

Ok, probably more than anyone cares to know.
I am glad to be back

Welcome. If you know what old email that you might used, I can probably find and unify the accounts. (I did find it, actually. From 2003!)

I'm afraid that I was incorrect about merging the accounts. (I would need to install an extension.) Your old one is: Pietro, and I have set its email and password to match your new account. Feel free to use whichever you would like.
