It just occurred to me that I can read and write six different writing systems (with varying degrees of ease).

My younger self would be delighted by this.

I logged into Lingo Legend tonight, and was sailing through my lessons but finding the spellings a bit odd.

I totally forgot that I changed the study language from Italian to Portuguese last night.

I just keep thinking about the presumable Latin roots and rolling with it -- while thinking it was an Italian lesson.

What can I say: I'm tired! 😅

Easy peasy, right? 😅
