Hello everyone,
My name is Huy. As suggested by the title, language has always been an important part of my life, not only because of my Linguistics major, but also because of my background as an immigrant. These two aspects allow me to look at languages on both level: intrinsic and instrumental. While I adore the intrinsically elegant and complex innerworkings of languages, I also acknowledge the instrumental importance of them in accessing resources, forming identity, and preserving human rights. This realization has solidified my future career as a field linguist and a language activist. And this professional goal would be benefited greatly from the ability to navigate interlingually - an ability that I will gain from Translation Studies.
