Photo of new blog contributor Elenita I’m very happy to introduce Elenita, friend and polyglot extraordinaire, who has decided to join the bloggy fun instead of just prowling the comments. Though I bet there will still be prowling of the comments. :)

She adds a few more languages to the mix along with a wealth of knowledge on language learning and linguistics. I think her posts will add a valuable dimension to the conversation here at Chipanglish and I hope y’all will give her a warm welcome!
