The fine print...

Hello and thank you for stopping by. As you might have guessed, I love languages. So much in fact that I have several notebooks filled with random translations. Hoping to organize my vocabulary lists (and help others learn as well) I've started this site. That said, I hope you enjoy your stay and learn a new animal name or two before you leave!
