User:SilkPyjamas

Hello! I'm here to practice my Spanish and Icelandic. I have been working on translations from Spanish to English, English to Spanish, and Icelandic to English. I also like to fix typos and edit (Wikipedia:Typo Team!) and make sure languages are tagged correctly with Template:Lang. Now that I've been hanging around here for a year or so, I've been finding my niche.

My user name comes from a Thomas Dolby song called Silk Pyjamas. Because why not.

If you'd like to know more about me, you can read my blog: http://digitalmanticore.com/

English

I am a native speaker of U.S. American English. I've been working in technical communication for over ten years. I also taught English in middle school for two years.

Spanish

I've been learning Spanish on and off since high school but now I am firmly on. I hope to be fluent one day but for now I have passed the DELE exam at a C1 level.

Icelandic

I'm learning Icelandic and I know enough to cause problems. Eventually, I may know enough to solve the problems I cause.

Arabic

I got my bachelor's degree in Arabic but have unfortunately let my knowledge of the language fall into disuse. I would like to get back into it but, unfortunately, there's only so much free time in the day.
