About me

I have worked as a music teacher, legal and magazine editor, and English language teacher in Australia and South Korea. I have lived in various parts of Australia, and in South Korea for two periods totalling three and a half years. I hold qualifications in linguistics, TESOL and classical music. My interests include language and languages, music (listening to, singing in choirs, composing), reading, movies and TV, photography and travel.

A quotation

“Linguistics is a kind of affliction, making the afflicted person incapable of not noticing points of interest in linguistic material.” – Geoffrey Pullum
