Hello! I am Jonathan, a language enthusiast with a particular passion for Nepali. I enjoy guiding others through detailed and fun language guides, making learning languages as 'sweet' as 'chocolate' (चकलेट in Nepali)! When I am not teaching phrases like 'Are you okay?' (तिमीलाई ठिक छ? Timilai thik cha?) in Nepali, you might find me exploring culinary delights, contemplating 'bananas' (केरा, kera) and 'capsicums' (भेडे खुर्सानी, bhede khursani). I love 'mangos' (आफू, aapu) and 'curry leaves' (करी पत्ता, kari patta). I find fascination in everyday items just as much as the extraordinary, from 'coffee' (कफी, kafi) to 'cockroaches' (झinga, jhinga). My time with Himalayan languages also led me to Tibetan, and I now share guides on how to say words in Tibetan as well.
