I'm Jimmy, a former wandering teacher now settled in a valley, where I've traded moving on for joining in. I read too much and sometimes write about language, place, history, and whatever else won't leave me alone.

Doing

  • Castos: podcast hosting. I handle support and write the newsletter with the occasional blog post.
  • Linguas Tecidas: a weekly language exchange I host around Monforte de Lemos.
  • Rizoma Coworking: desks, workshops and community events in the center of town. I run it.
  • Verba: a free Galician and Spanish dictionary and verb conjugator for iPhone, with 2,000 words and study guides.

Wildflowers in the valley

Lately

I’m feeling pessimistic about 29 November Spanish elections. Sánchez is much more popular outside of Spain than inside. I fear a PP/Vox shitshow.

paisaxes coma bosques, densos de humidade,
desertos dourados, sen fin,
e montes e vales ondulantes.
Os meus ollos enriqueceron.
