Writing in English and Spanish

Random Thoughts, in two languages

Personal essays and reflective notes by Suparna Pathak. Read each piece in English or Spanish, filter the journal by language, and follow new dispatches in the language you prefer.

The approach

Two languages, side by side

I write in English and Spanish, and I want readers to be able to choose the language that feels right to them. Each language keeps its own rhythm, so a piece in Spanish is never a rough translation of the English.

Some posts are thoughts I have worked through; others are questions I am still sitting with. The archive keeps both kinds of writing together, so it is easy to return to them.
