Well, here we are - almost half way through the year already! As this past month has been particularly busy for me, I just wanted to take this opportunity to quickly check in and do a bit of a linguistic stock take, and maybe set out some goals for the rest of the year. As … Continue reading Stock taking & goal setting
Merry April, dear readers! This month, I’ll admit, I was struggling a little for ideas. My language learning progress has been minimal at best and I haven’t really done anything exciting travel-wise. Somebody on Twitter (you can find me @sprakskatan) made a wonderful suggestion and it kind of inspired me to talk a little about … Continue reading Languages & Me: Scandilove
Hello friends! I wanted to do something a little bit different this month. Instead of a retrospective look back on what's been going on, I'd like to turn that on its head and look forwards to what's coming up over the next couple of months. Most of you who are active in the language learner … Continue reading Eyes front, soldier!
Ahoj! Dobrý den! Já jsem Den Språkliga Skatan. Vítejte na mém blogu. Jak už víte, začínám se učit česky. Jde mi to dobře, ale jsem ještě stále na základní úrovni. Můj cíl pro příští rok je stát se lepším. Vím, že úroveň C1 je ambiciózní cíl. Ambiciózní, ale ne nemožný. Čeština je velmi krásný jazyk, … Continue reading Šťastný nový rok!
A lot of things have changed in my life in the past month, so I figured it was time to give you guys a bit of a life update while I try and get myself a little bit more sorted out! This month I finally moved out of my parents place and into a house … Continue reading Flying the nest
So, recently I went with a friend to see a lovely little film called «Love, Simon», based on the book «Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda» by Becky Albertalli. I read this book about a year ago, and I remember absolutely devouring it. She managed to capture the exact feeling of coming to terms with … Continue reading Represent! 🏳️🌈
I know I go on a lot about wanting to move to a Scandinavian country a lot, I feel like I’m getting to the point where I might as well start wearing an ‘I’d rather be in Sweden’ t-shirt. So maybe it isn’t so strange that people have been saying things like ‘oh, I bet … Continue reading The Beast from the East
Well, welcome to 2018 on Den Språkliga Skatan! I wanted to start off the year with a bit of a personal touch, rather than boring you half to death with my latest linguistic obsession (which is Welsh, by the way). This year I wanted to get to know you all a little better, and help … Continue reading With a bang
For those of you who followed me here from my old blog, you'll know that I used to set myself yearly goals on New Year's Day and then write a post at the end of the year see how I’ve done against these goals. Considering that I did this on New Year’s Day, usually while … Continue reading Taking stock
Hello everybody! I'm afraid there won't be a post this week, but don't fret! There will be another post this month on Sunday the 14th of May, my round up of this year's Eurovision Song Contest - I've already started working on that (picking my favourites, doing some reading around the subject, etc.), so I'm … Continue reading A brief service announcement
