Another blog? What for?

I know what you all think: another blog! But why? This day and age, you can create blogs about almost everything. Everyone can find a space on the web dedicated to expressing themselves and defending their ideals.
Rozelang is not different from them, except for one thing: the pleasure!
Our blog's purpose certainly is to create a conscience for ecological issues, while teaching or doing anything else. But let's face it, who likes learning grammar? Who can sincerely say that they enjoy repeating verb conjugation? Here, @ Rozelang, we tend to think that the main idea in life is to take pleasure in everything we do.
If you feel the same way, join us on the blog, and share your views with us!
Have fun reading and expressing yourself!

The hyperpolyglot.

Giuseppe Caspar Mezzofanti was an italian cardinal, born at the end of the 18th century. He spoke perfectly thirty-eight languages, among which were: biblical and rabbinic Hebrew, Arabic, Chaldean, Coptic, Armenian, ancient and modern, Persian, Turkish, Albanian, Maltese, Greek, ancient and modern, Latin, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, English, Illyrian, Russian, Polish, Bohemian, Californian; he spoke thirty other languages, less perfectly, and fifty dialects of the languages mentioned above. His knowledge of these languages was intuitive, rather than analytic, he left no scientific works, although some studies in comparative linguistics are to be found among his manuscripts, which he left, in part, to the municipal library and in part to the library of the University of Bologna.

Inspiring, isnt'it?
