As someone who has always been fascinated by the intricacies of human language, I jumped at the opportunity to take linguistics classes in university.
But let me be real with you — those classes were no walk in the park.
And I can honestly say that I had vastly underestimated just what I was getting myself into. *insert strained chuckle*
You’re probably wondering why I didn’t just study English.
It was mainly because it seemed a bit too surface level and “frou frou” (no offense). I like to analyse things and I enjoy reasoning; therefore, in my 17 year-old-mind, linguistics was perfect.
