Explaining this whole thing

I've had a fascination with words and languages for as long as I can remember. I revel in the sound of a word as it rolls off my tongue, the artistry of the letters as they appear under my pen, the unending similarities and differences between the vocabularies of languages world-wide, the subtle inflections and inferences of vernacular speech, the etymology of my mother tongue - English. 
This blog will record my amateur attempts to learn something about the languages that most intrigue me. At the present, these include:

Hebrew
French
Spanish
Arabic
Latin
Greek
Gaelic
Farsi
Portugese
Italian
Russian
