Hello! I’m the Little Language Fox...

But you can call me Lisa. I’m in my final year at my University. I currently study literature + Spanish (my majors), as well as French + lingustics (my minors).

Also, I am currently self-studying Korean (I am a beginner!). 

I thought about making this blog for a long time. I’ve had a Tumblr since 2010 (oh my god I’m old) but I recently deleted my previous account to start fresh! 

I really want to track my progress and stay motivated to keep up my languages!

See you around!
