鮪釣り　（まぐろつり　Tuna fishing) 私の専攻は言語学です。

I plan on starting either Swedish or restarting Spanish soon. I might be taking Russian next semester or next year at some point for my graduate program (linguistics) and because it'd be useful if I end up doing language preservation work on languages within Russia one day. Right now, I'm taking a field methods class and we're practicing our field methods/language documentation work on Kisii/Ekegusii, so, I 'spose that's the next language I'm (sort of) learning. It's a Bantu language and pretty dang interesting.

落語（らくご-a type of Japanese verbal entertainment that's been around since the 1200s, according to wiki.)

Greetings, internetlings. As you have probably guessed, I am new to this forum. I am a linguistics undergrad student in my last semester; I'll (hopefully) be doing my masters in ling next semester. I am a native California English speaker. I've studied Japanese on and off for a few years to a pretty mediocre grasp of the language. I've also dabbled a bit with Vietnamese, Spanish, German, and Finnish, although those are all very weak. I'm currently taking a field methods class in which we are examining Kisii/Ekegusii, a Bantu language; if you know anything of the language's phonology or morphosyntax, please no spoilers I want to get back into studying Japanese with a degree of seriousness, as well as add in another language or two. I'm thinking one tonal (Vietnamese or Mandarin, most likely) and one Indo-European (Spanish or Swedish.) Aside from language stuff, I like music (mostly folk, folk punk, and ska), video games (I write part time for a video game news/review blog), and tabletop gaming (D&D and the like.) I look forward to getting to know some of you and practicing language and stuff.
