Oops, where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm basically addicted to knowledge, and most people would call me the perfect language freak. Language is indeed my most serious vice, be it general linguistics or individual languages. But when I grew up, I was most interested in physics and chemistry, not to mention astronomy, philosophy...heck, everything. I grew up reading about Einstein, but when school finally started teaching science at 8th grade, boy what a disappointment. The pathetic memorized babble of teachers, the meaningless formulae, the total lack of debate, the absence of Relativity!!! That was when I took the path of languages, first inventing a few of my own then learning real ones, though I already knew English (I'm Brazilian in case you haven't noticed...hehee). And that was when I felt one day I would become a teacher, a real one, one day, for I live for knowledge.
Three years ago I applied for M.I.T.'s Doctorate Program in Linguistics but didn't make it, I might try again, maybe Cognitive Sciences.
I've been teaching usual and unusual languages in private schools for some seven years, this year I started teaching Chinese, delicious challenge.
My greatest frustration in life is never having lived abroad for an extensive period of time, I still plan to go to Central/Eastern Europe or China, live there for a year or two. I've travelled all over Northern Europe though, as a backpacker.
Now I got a job in the export business, I might follow that career. I'm starting on Wednesday, a week from now.
I was born in 1977.
