@testing thank you for the boost and thank you for introducing me to Asymptote Journal - how could I have missed this? I speak English and French, am learning the local Indigenous language Likwal'a. My husband is Dutch (don't speak any). My mom spoke Ukrainian (I only know a few words). The world is so much more than English.

you are welcome :)

re: asymptote journal: it's a small, taiwan-based project with a down-to-approach > asymptote has not published a new issue for quite some time, but the blog is very much alive, and the asymptote's archive is a treat, so i keep waiting and stick to the blog in the meantime

re: languages: being german myself, i grew up monolingually, and began picking up some other languages only in my early teens > it absolutely broadened my horizon
