Hello!
My name is Dan and I am a linguist from the UK.
I speak seven languages: English, German, Italian, French, Dutch, Swedish and Finnish.
I am currently learning Greek and Japanese.
I am hoping to use my knowledge of other languages to develop websites and apps for language learning.
I am currently developing mindfulness tools for the young and the aged; the rich and the poor; the nice and the unkind, because I care about humanity.
I am a Humanist, a Christian and I draw strength from Buddhist teachings relating to meditation and mindfulness.
I will soon be developing an app that strives to pick apart the issues ruling our lives, understand our feelings and our reasons for feeling a certain way, and developing tools and coping strategies for people with mental health difficulties.
This is based on idea I had when I looked at a duck in a pond in London.
The principle is to ask 16-18 questions about your lifestyle; develop a profile of your current frame of mind; use that profile to direct you to the correct advice, helpline services or mental health support services, wherever you live.
To begin with, it will be available in the UK, USA and Australia, with plans to expand further afield thereafter.
