Hola, I'm Archie! I have an incredible fondness for language, specifically Spanish and its many tantalizing dialects. As you can tell from my post titles, I thoroughly enjoy sprinkling English conversations with a bit of español every now and then. When I'm not dwelling into language idiosyncrasies, you would mostly find me flipping burgers at a barbeque, working on a percussion set (my version of Kick Drum in Spanish is unbeatable), or enjoying the rich flavor of a mixed berry gelato. ¡Hasta pronto!
