You can see my academical thingy here:

I'm native speaker of Estonian, can read, speak and understand (and spot typos)

English (prefer British, generally)

German

Russian

Lithuanian

Latin (except speaking, as in talking to people; prefer mediaeval)

Polish

Spanish (bit rusty, now)

Esperanto (same).


Have studied, done exams, and almost forgotten, but can understand a bit

Greek (biblical)

Hebrew (biblical)

Italian

Czech

Latvian

Finnish.


Pro language editor and proofreader (Estonian).


Pro in procrastinating my PhD thesis (on history of Dominican Order, some minor things)…


Academically interested in church history, medieaeval; Albertus Magnus.


Generally interested in linguistics, mediaeval history and occasionally all of it (history, i.e. knowledge of past). And some other things, random examples: Stalker, Rex Stout, national and historical costume, Mikhail Bulgakov; Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman; flamenco...


Green. (But I oppose greens called (and being, even though European greens lean left) left-wing, esp. alliances with commies, green+red=brown; coalition with social democrats is ok. Green politics emerged long after traditional left-right scale, giving total second dimension to this one-dimension line, being above that; in projection from 2dimensional triangle should fall on centrum between left and right.)


Wikipedia dumbeditor in technical terms — don't even know how to put this linguistic information into those nice boxes, e.g. — And finding this technical editing stuff as yet overwhelmingly confusing. My forte is text pure, preferably interesting, with meaning.
