About the author

A photo of Simon Ager, author of Omniglot, taken on 26th January 2023

My name is Simon Ager, I live in Bangor in northwest Wales and earn my living from this website. I grew up in Lancashire in the northwest of England, and have also lived in France, Taiwan and Japan.

I've always been interested in languages, and have studied quite a few, including French and German at school, and Chinese and Japanese at university. I speak some languages fluently and others fairly well.

More details of my language learning adventures.

When not learning langauges languages, I like to read, sing, write songs and tunes, and play musical instruments and juggle.

By the way, in case you're wondering, my surname, Ager, is pronounced /'eɪgə/. It apparently comes from the Saxon name Ēadgār.
