So, I've got to say, as we approach the first anniversary of the first lockdown implemented to try and tackle the Covid-19 pandemic (or maybe we've already passed it - who knows, what is time anyway?)... I'm pretty done with all of this now. I'll admit that in the beginning, as an introvert, I quite … Continue reading One year and counting
Well! February already! It feels like this year has been going on for at least five months already, but somehow I found myself surprised when the calendar ticked over to February - surely that can’t be right? But far be it from me to question the men and women in charge of time and keeping … Continue reading Swedish books and where to find them
If you’re anything like me and you like to keep abreast of the online world of language learning, you’ve probably read a lot of Tweets, Instagram posts and indeed blog posts about goals for the new year. I have, and you’re all such an inspiration to me that you’ve made me really reflect hard on … Continue reading Gobsmacked and goalless
Denna månad blir det ett kanske lite kortare inlägg än vad ni är vana vid att läsa, eller jag är van vid att skriva. Det är väldigt mycket på gång i mitt liv just nu, och jag tänkte att ni nog skulle förlåta mig, speciellt eftersom att det kommer ett ganska stort projekt nästa månad … Continue reading Klara av kaoset
Well, they say better late than never... it's no secret that this blog post was a bit of a rush at the last minute. I've been a little conspicuous only by my absence in the online language learning community as of late, but I promise I have a good reason. You often hear that buying … Continue reading Goals for the year that wasn’t
Hello everyone! I wanted to do something a little bit different this month, and try and get to know you all a little better! Instead of doing a bog-standard post introducing myself, I took to Curious Cat to see if there was anything you guys were wondering about me… and boy, did you guys deliver! … Continue reading Getting to know you
The Eurovision Song Contest is a staple of my year. I start looking forward to it in about November, after listening to the songs from previous years so much I start to get tired of them. But the excitement for the coming year fills me with a sense of nostalgia, so I can enjoy them … Continue reading Shine a Light
So, I know that I mentioned it in passing in my last post, but I think it’s time to address the elephant in the room. If you’re reading this far in the future, then you might have heard about the Covid-19 pandemic. If you’re reading this on the day I publish this, then you’re probably … Continue reading A promise to be kinder
This past month I've been so busy with work and other commitments that I've barely had any time for anything else. My language books have mostly been gathering dust, I haven't had time to even think about writing and even my Netflix account called the police remotely to carry out a welfare check. So to … Continue reading A General Update
Hello there, and a very happy new year to you, wherever you may be. Well then! Here we are. New Year’s Day, 2020. The beginning of a new decade - I suppose, depending on time zone, some of you might already onto the 2nd of January, but let's not get into that, it's far too … Continue reading Dawn of the Decade
