I mentioned in another thread that I have a master's degree in engineering, but that isn't what I have a passion for. I love languages.
There's a YouTuber I watch from time to time, Days of French and Swedish, who summed it up well in one of his videos:
"I love languages. I love them so much. I love the easy bits. I love the hard bits. I love etymology—the fact that the Swedish word for 'honeymoon' is literally 'cuddle month', it gives me goosebumps—which by the way is another weird word, 'goosebumps'. Anyway, I love languages so much that learning them is non-negotiable."
That's how I feel. I love everything about languages to the point that I should have been a linguist. And I know, a linguist isn't the same as a polyglot. That's not the relevant point.
When the pandemic is over, I want to get my PhD in linguistics.
What things are you passionate about that you would seriously want to pursue if you get the chance?
