My journey with foreign languages began in high school when I was introduced to Latin culture through a friend and purchased a Spanish grammar book from Barnes & Noble. Fast-forward 15 years and I’ve spent a great deal of my life immersed in foreign language study (10+ years of Arabic and Spanish; 2+ years of Japanese and Latin; and <1 year of French & German). I’ve lived in the Middle East, Tokyo, and D.C., and worked multiple bilingual jobs, including my current one as a linguist in the American Midwest.
Aside from being a language nerd, I enjoy blogging, web-making, hiking, following professional sports, and using knowledge to improve the quality of life. Graduate of Georgetown University (B.S. in Foreign Service) and The Ohio State University (M.A. in Middle East Studies). You can find me at https://creatorvilla.com or on Twitter @creatorvilla.
