Studying Latinate languages has been a stream of joy for me: I have learned at different levels the languages Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Catalan, Chabacano (Chavacano), Elefen, Interlingua, Kreyòl, and Esperanto, but I have encountered them not in this order. In the Philippines, my native Tagalog from childhood has Spanish words embedded in it. I eventually took Spanish at university in BC. I had introductory French in Grade 5 on Lulu Island, continued it in high school, then in post-secondary education. I have learned the rest autodidactically. I have reading strength in my languages, but not much in speaking, except in Esperanto, in which I have attained a high level, partly due to my participation in various clubs. I enjoy reading novels in the different languages, especially in the genres of science fiction and fantasy, as I immerse myself in far-flung worlds. Romanian is for me still a vampiric curiosity, which I have not explored much. Additionally, I am curious also about Ladino, also known as Judeo-Spanish. Interestingly, I know how to pronounce Classical Latin.
