Collins, Paul: - Paul Collins is a linguaphile and a writer who has spent a lifetime learning about languages and their origins. He grew up in the Australian Outback where he would often accompany his father on his many trips to the interior. There, Paul found a fascination for the Aboriginal tribes that inhabited parts of the land the languages they spoke. This allure led Paul to study languages at university and then saw him undertake a trip to the Amazonian rainforest, where he worked for a year before going on to study some of the Pacific Islands myriad dialects. While he still works full time, Paul also writes books that help people to understand and learn a new language, with an approach that is based on making what is taught easy to learn with no unnecessary complications. It is a style which has gained him many plaudits and recognition from the many who have already taken up his courses. In his free time Paul still loves travelling above all else. He is happiest when he is in a place where the language provides a barrier to most and where he can immerse himself in the food and culture of the people who live there. Paul also enjoys the simple things in life, like watching documentaries, listening to classical music or taking a walk in the countryside. He lives just outside of Brisbane, with his wife and takes every opportunity he can to get to the beach or into the wide open spaces of the interior.
