I found this site while browsing a Latin-language message board of which I am already a member and quickly decided I just had to join! I'm a native English speaker with a B.A. in Spanish and a solid foundational knowledge of five other languages (mostly Romance). As a creative way to practice and improve my command of these languages, I've developed the rather unique hobby of translating/adapting song lyrics (as faithfully as possible while also maintaining melody, beat, and rhyme scheme). I've been doing it for over ten years now!

I look forward to lively discussions in multiple languages!

Welcome to the forum, Glossaphile. Your language list looks really impressive, I'm looking forward to reading you.

P.S: What kinds of music do you like and translate?

Thanks, Cavesa! I focus on popular music, and I particularly like Disney. My latest work is a rendition of "Go the Distance" from Disney's Hercules in Ancient Greek. I started working on it almost immediately after finishing my self-taught course!
