After looking at some other introductions, I decided I'd go with the long-concise (oxymoron?) route...so here it goes... ...the name's Étienne! I'm a Americano-Quebecker born and raised in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada to a Franco-Americano-Ohio dad and a Judeo-Italo-Quebecker momma. Lived in LA for a very long, fun, exciting, dangerous, life threatening, crazy, bizarre, and totally legit 2 years. Started studying Linguistics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada last year. Living in Mallorca, Spain to study Catalan and Spanish at the Universitat de les Illes Balears from September to June (2010). After I get my undergrad degree I would like to pursue an MA and then a PhD. I want to document languages that are in danger of going extinct! I want to travel the world living with different cultures doing ethnography and language documentation! I don't have a very addicting personality and have done some pretty crazy shit and should be lying dead in a motel in California right now but thanks to G-d for kicking me in the ass and telling me to get my life together. Even though I'm Jewish I consider myself an Agnostic Theist.
Bienvenue sur EC Etienne Je m'appelle Cécile (mais je suis aussi connue sous le nom d'Eleanor sur le site) et je suis française. J'espère que tu te plairas ici. A bientôt online
Welcome to EC Etienne. I'm not a huge linguist, but I did my BA in Classics and had to study greek and latin. How do you find UBC? A friend of mine is studying history there.
I just wanted to say welcome!!! Then I saw your avatar and then I was like "Damn, he's cute", then I saw that you're Canadian and was like "Damn, he's Canadian and cute, hot mix" and then I saw your name (if that is your real name) I'm like "DAMN, and he has the coolest name EVER!" Hate you LOL! And by hate you I mean welcome to this kick ass place LOL! I'm weird like that!
Âllo! donc un autre language freak sur EC (WIN!) =D je vous souhaite la bienvenue à EC et de nous joindre.
I don't say I'm from LA like the majority of people who live there and are, in fact, NOT from LA! Even when I was living there I never claimed to be from there!
Hello, Etienne! Welcome! I hope you will enjoy making plenty of good friends here. You seem to have travelled a lot, and I can't wait to learn about your fascinating personality. (*hug*) :icon_bigg
