Hello, my name is Marvin. I'm a German hobby linguist, language enthusiast in general, photographer and programmer. I worked at the ICT of the Wittekindshof for a couple of weeks and I am planning on doing an apprenticeship in IT in the future.

I'm fluent in two languages (German and English) and I have good skills in Swedish (B2-C1) and in a few other languages. I was born in April 1999 and moved a couple of times since then. I've been living in Bad Oeynhausen since 2005.

I really enjoy learning languages (be it programming or real languages) and can say a couple of things in many languages. I have studied many languages over the course of my life, but have found myself giving up most of them. The reason behind that is that I've mostly studied languages that have little to no speakers anymore (Sanskrit, Inuktitut, Sumerian). I was just very interested in those languages and wanted to learn them, but have then found out that I will gain more by learning other languages that are more useful. I have then tried finding a compromise between languages that are useful and those that I find interesting. A few of such languages are "فارسی", "हिंदी" and "svenska". I am planning on learning more languages in the future, like "русский язык" or "Ελληνικά". I am most interested in learning a language's grammar and its history and culture. I am less fond of learning vocabulary.

I love travelling, either within Germany or abroad. I have already visited many places in Germany already and plan on expanding that to more of the world soon.

I also know a few programming languages, I especially have a lot of experience with Ruby and PHP and I am also very active in those communities. I am also a heavy Linux user (Manjaro) and try to only use FOSS software (even though that is quite difficult sometimes, I would say nearly everything on my Desktop PC is FOSS).
