About Me
- USNAVYVET2002
- I have worked for over 12 years as a linguist and analyst for various government agencies. I love languages. I don't know why, perhaps I just want to prove to Europeans that Americans CAN speak other languages. Whatever the case may be, I have a serious boatload of languages books. My goal is to share some of my experiences about language learning, good and bad, and give some book reviews on what language materials you should buy and what you should skip. I also really enjoy studying various types of historic and contemporary propaganda. It's a slow process digging up the goods, but worth it.
