Chinese Mandarin
I am a passionate intermediate level learner of Chinese. I am currently being taught at KCL's Modern Language Centre but supplement these lessons with input from Chinese language TV dramas, podcasts, books and newspapers and exchanges with language partners.
I recently received the Huayu Enrichment Scholarship from the Taiwanese Ministry of Education and will spend the autumn term of 2022 studying Mandarin at a Taiwanese University.
I also write a blog, 'Language Learn Along' about my experience of learning Mandarin in order to document my progress to inspire others and provide tips and tricks to other learners embarking on this same rewarding journey.
Yiddish
I first studied Yiddish at UCL under Dr. Helen Beer between 2011 and 2013. Subsequently I have attended numerous Yiddish summer courses and community groups. I was fortunate enough to use Yiddish in my work at the Jewish Museum London where I worked with their Yiddish language collection of posters, song sheets, flyers, diaries and books. In 2019, I also provided Yiddish language tours for the exhibition 'Roman Vishniac Rediscovered'.
