Greetings!
Hello!! I'm SinaSabet28 (they/them), a native Californian English speaker with a love for linguistics. I am currently learning Farsi, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Twi, Indonesian, Papiamentu/Papiamento, and Classical Latin. Wiktionary is one of my favorite websites as I use it every day as my dictionary of choice. I'm an undergraduate at University of California - San Diego, majoring in Linguistics with a Specialization in Cognition and Language. I thought it best to give back to this lovely community by adding pronunciation and word usage examples :)

For proof of my language comprehension:
Spanish: I received a 5 on my AP Exams for Spanish Language and Spanish Literature. I tutor the Spanish language and have taught English to a class of Costa Rican students. If I could make this 3.5, I would. At UCSD I tested into the level of the course "Lit 2A or higher."

Portuguese: I have been learning Portuguese since the beginning of 2022 and have made many close friends from Brazil by primarily speaking Portuguese. At UCSD I tested into the level of the course "Ling 1D."

Farsi/Persian: I took Heritage Persian (LIHL 117) at UCSD, a class taught nearly entirely in Farsi. I have translated for my grandmother when traveling with her. For 18 years of my life, I was raised in a bilingual English and Farsi household.

Latin: I received a 4 on my AP Latin exam (self study). I have tutored Latin before and still practice on my own.

German: I had a tutor for over a year and practice weekly with German speakers online. At UCSD I tested into the level of the courses "Ling 1D or Lit 2A."

French & Italian: Speaking Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin, as well has having Francophone & Italophone friends has enabled me to be able to understand certain basic sentences.

Tajik: Due to my aforementioned knowledge of Farsi, and my ability to read Cyrillic, understanding Tajik is not super difficult for me.

Toki Pona: I own pu and ku.
