Tropers / Otawa 453

Hi, I'm Otawa! I'm 20, Dutch, and a huge fan of music, linguistics, video games, and all things animation.

I speak these languages:

• Dutch (first language)
• English (fluently^note Shouldn't come as a surprise, as it's a commonly known fact that everyone in the Netherlands speaks English.)
• German (at an alright level^note German is very similar to Dutch, so speaking or writing it shouldn't be very difficult for someone like me. However, I still have to look up a lot of words in the dictionary from time to time.)
• Spanish (can form full sentences with relative ease)
• Japanese (read moreso than speak)
• French (a bit)

and I'm eager to learn many more. And as far as conlangs go, I'm also big on Toki Pona (mainly thanks to jan Misali).
