I can speak and write elementary Chinese (Mandarin, simplified).
I have a basic knowledge of many written languages, but specifically Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform, Maya glyphs, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Russian, French (six years of study), Spanish (four years of study), Italian (one year).
I am also a ceramicist and have played with my husband, Dr. Michael Varney, in rock bands for 31 years. I play French horn, trumpet, keyboards, and sing.view less
