I'm 47 and live in the U.S. I have no facility for language, sometimes not even my native American English, which is the only one I speak or read. But I do like being able on occasion to be able to read Gaelic, or at least pick out several words related to the 20 or so words of Gaelic I know or that have been absorbed by modern English. And there are a lot of those.
My primary interest in languages is that I play role playing games and I often want to lend some authenticity to my games. Specifically now, I am running a game for some friends and my 19 year old nephew set against the backdrop of Rowling's Harry Potter universe. Last night I was asking for help going from Old English to "old" Scottish.
I can't quite find my way around this site yet. I wanted to add some of the answers I personally found late last night to my question but don't know where my question is yet. But it'll turn up or be found.
Thanks for the site.
