I find it quite hard to believe that's suddenly May already. I must have expressed this before, but there's a certain amount of stagnation involved in a global pandemic in my experience. Or perhaps 'stasis' would be a better word that doesn't make me sound like a load of old pond water. Everything feels like … Continue reading A statement of intent
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
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
Tere-tere, kallid lugejad! Hello there, dear readers! It's always a pleasure to be back here with you. To be perfectly honest, though, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write about today. I've been working full time (from home) throughout lockdown, and because of a huge increase in life admin, I've not … Continue reading Üks päev korraga
Добрий день! Як у вас справи? Мене звати Спрокскатан, дуже приємно познайомитись! Я англієць. Я живу у Ньюкасл-апон-Тайн, місто на північному-сході Англії. Я працюю як перекладач. Я розмовляю англійською, датською, норвезькою і шведською, а трошки українською. Радий вас бачити! Мені подобається вивчати мови, а я думаю, що українська мова дуже гарна. So, this year has … Continue reading LangJam – Ukrainian
I’ve been doing a lot of dabbling in various languages over the past few months, and I’ve really learned a lot. I’d be lying if I said I regretted it because I quite enjoy having a broad pool of knowledge (though in some parts it’s incredibly shallow) to draw from. Languages are living things which … Continue reading For the love of words
Over the past few months, I’ve lost my way a bit when it comes to language learning. I’ve been jumping around from project to project like a madman, never really getting anywhere with anything. But I do love a good dabble, and although I’ve not really attained any sort of deep knowledge about any particular … Continue reading Dabbling on the Livonian coast
Kia ora koutou! Kei te pēhea koutou? Ko Den Språkliga Skatan ahau. Ko wai ō koutou ingoa? Nō Ingaranga ahau. Nō hea koutou? He iti tōku reo Māori. Kei te ako au i te reo Māori. He reo Māori ō koutou? ...I have to admit, that's as far as I managed to get as far … Continue reading Indigenous LangJam – Te reo Māori
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
Denna veckan har jag varit ledig från jobbet. Planen var att jag skulle åka utomlands, men efter en titt på min privatekonomi var det ett klart tecken på att det var ingen idé. Så jag bestämde mig för att bara ta lite tid för mig själv och öva lite self-care. Efter tre dagar så började … Continue reading En kort resa in i spanskan
