Welcome to Language Cake!

Language Color Code: English, Spanish, Chilean, Turkish, Indonesian

I am a Spanish major, English teacher, and self-described language nerd* who loves all things linguistic. Since no one around me seems quite as interested in language idiosyncrasies as yours truly, I created this blog as a space to share fun facts and things that I find interesting about language in general as well as specific languages.

I will also be asking language questions, so hopefully you fellow language nerds who are reading this blog for the pure joy and fun of language facts will also be able to help me answer them!

Thanks for stopping by - enjoy!

*nerd = pastel in Chilean slang = cake in literal English -- see what I did there?

DISCLAIMER:  There is a difference between language expert and language lover -- I am the latter but certainly do not claim to be the former.  Therefore, please forgive (and correct!) the (probably not-so-) occasional grammar or spelling error, not only in my prose but also regarding inaccurate or incomplete explanations of language points.

If you do find a mistake or inconsistency, or just something that inspires you to comment, please do!  I love comments!  PLEASE, show me what I am missing, tell me that I am brilliant, or start a discussion about language in the comments!  It will make my day.  :)
