All about me
Hi! My name is Aisha Guthrie, and I am a senior at Emory University. I am double majoring in Neuroscience for Behavioral Biology (B.S.) and Spanish. My interest in a second language, specifically Spanish, came early on as it has been the only second language I was taught in school since K5. Freshman year of college was a pivotal point in my Spanish career as the courses I took truly inspired me through cultural interests and current events (as well as some very corny telenovelas). What also interested me was the overlap in other languages. As a Filipino American, I could see and understand the connections between Tagalog (the national language of the Philippines) and Spanish. Language is more than just a way of expression, but includes an ancient history and cultural phenomenon.
