(Human) Languages
I love learning languages.
As of August 2022, I speak 4 languages fluently: English, Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese.
My fluency in French is intermediate (but super out of shape), after 1.5 years of intensive study during undergrad.
I can also read and write Kana (the Japanese alphabet) and Hangeul (the Korean alphabet), thanks to the years of interest in Japanese and Korean cultures.
