Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 So I'm something of an autodidact particularly with regards to language, I wouldn't call myself a polyglot since I don't really speak anything other than English fluently but I know a handful of phrases in over a dozen languages and I can say 'hello' to people pretty much anywhere on the planet (Though I occasionally forget which is which so I may one day find myself in germany greeting people with Здраствуитэ ) I also have something of a sleeping problem, I rarely go to bed before about 3am regardless of when I wake up so I tend to have a bit of time at night when everyone else is asleep and not much to do other than go on 17th Shard, read scientific articles, surf wikipedia and try to learn random new things so I have a lot of random knowledge on a variety of topics although mostly centered around science and languages. Anyway I was wondering if there were any other autodidacts on the Shard and if so, what have you learned today? I have a sleeping and anxiety problems and I am a insomniac so I know how you feel.

Voidus Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 So I've been studying German, Russian and Spanish on Duolingo lately, anyone else use it much?
Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I'm more into ancient language, so I have a couple of books that I need to crack when I get a break from school. Three languages at once is impressive. Latin and a smattering of Hebrew is enough for me. 1
