User:Michael%Sappir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm Michael Sappir (Hebrew: מיכאל ספיר), born June, 1988, and then raised, in Jerusalem, Israel. My native language is American English, because my mother is American and my parents raised me in English until I was three years old, to give me a good command of the English language. In addition to English and Hebrew--which I speak at least as well as most native speakers--I have studied German for about two and a half years. I now speak German fluently, although I still make some mistakes when speaking. Lately I have been learning Russian because most of my coworkers are native speakers of the language, and I study Esperanto now and then online (mainly out of curiosity and because it has been shown to make learning further languages easier.)

I joined Wikipedia initially in order to expand and improve the coverage on subjects related to the Sudbury model of education. I also joined the Hebrew Wikipedia for the same reason but lately I don't seem to contribute much to either wiki, beyond some WikiGnome work and I have no good excuse to give for it.
