Your introduction

Greetings, everyone! I am Riley, as the username suggests. I'm coming to you live from the Californian desert. I will do my best to introduce myself here, but please be patient with me, it is 3 in the morning at the time of this recording. So, I spent a lot of this evening listening to this entire thread, actually. And I have to say, it's really great to see so many of you interested in world languages and language learning. I, myself, studied German for a little bit. I've now dedicated my time to learning Norwegian. It's a very fun language, in my opinion, and a little bit easier in some respects. I also see that a lot of you recognize each other from one particular platform. I don't have any experience with that. A few of you might remember me from a TeamTalk server, but I don't think I'm known anywhere. That a large majority of you would recognize. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. I'm a former psychology student, and I was an ILS instructor for a time. I do that on a volunteer basis now, though. I have 8 cats, so if you hear me in any of the conferences, you might hear them doing some nonsense in the background. They're all strays that I've rescued over the years. I love travel, arts, and science. Culture. I hope to see the world someday. I'm a lifelong learner, so I'm always interested in new topics. A lot of you seem very heavily into technology. I, myself, am just getting into the smallest bit of coding. Please don't mistake me as anyone who can develop anything. I am not, and I cannot. But I'm having fun, and I think it's pretty cool. Some of you are into amateur radio work. Next semester, I'm taking a college class that is a preparation for the FCC license in the US. Feel free to ask me anything. I'm a very open person, very talkative. So you can always reach out to me. It's a fascinating world out there. Stay curious.

Welcome to the Elton English Community Group.

Greetings, humans! Reporting to you live not from the Californian desert, because that would be too interesting. More so, the less interesting, kind of boring, mountainous and rainy region that is known today as the Pacific Northwest of the United States. And, yeah, it's all kinds of fun over here. Greetings, new members, by the way. Riley, we actually spoke briefly yesterday on a conference, and it was really nice meeting you there, and, yeah, you seem like a really cool person. For all of the other members, other new members, welcome. My name is Gabriel. My two and a half, I suppose, hobbies at the moment are music, linguistics, and amnesia. I'm just getting into tech, that's where the half comes into play. Mainly just so I know what people are talking about when they're talking at me about tech stuff, but also just because I find some aspects of it interesting. And, yeah, that's about me. For all of the members who already know about my existence, hello. I feel sorry for you. No, I'm kidding. And I shall see you all later.

That sounds like a great message, Star Child. You should be on the radio, just saying, because you spoke very clearly, you have a great sense of humor, and yeah, that's just me, how I think.
