For me, language is the ultimate window into the worlds of others. Maybe it's the way certain words roll off your tongue, maybe it's their nuance, rhythm, or untranslatable concepts that draw me in and pique my curiosity. Words truly can "say" so much about a person and a culture. I'll be sharing some of my favorite words as we go along and would love if you shared some of your favorites with me! (Feel lucky I didn't start this page about 30 years ago when I started "collecting words"...)
