User:Linguist Dan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am a university student and like to consider myself a linguist.

Wikipedia and Wiktionary

[edit]

I occasionally make small contributions to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, when I feel I can add to - or improve the wording or stylisation of - articles.

Wikipedia

[edit]

Now and then, I edit articles about various subjects, including language, geography and film. I often feel compelled to edit wording and punctuation, in order to make a sentence more easily understandable and thus more accessible to other readers.

Wiktionary

[edit]

I often use Wiktionary as a source of reference to look up spelling, definitions and usages of words in many languages. Sometimes, I edit articles, if I feel I can improve them. Mainly, I just make small, minor edits.

Interests and hobbies

[edit]

I like to ski. I also occasionally play pool and badminton. I enjoy playing computer, board and card games. I also watch a lot of films and television.

Languages

[edit]

I study German, Italian and Japanese. I also have some knowledge of French and Dutch.
