So, one of my interests that I don’t talk about nearly often enough is reading. And that’s probably because I don’t do it nearly often enough. It’s hard to believe now that just over a decade ago (a truly terrifying thought in and of itself), I graduated with a BA in English Literature. I used … Continue reading Re-learning to love literature
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
Well. It’s been a hell of a month. A hell of a month as part of a hell of a year. I had a lot of goals for this month, and… well, it’ll probably be no surprise to most of you that I was less than successful. I think there were mitigating circumstances, but even … Continue reading A month and a half
Well, it's finally here. The first of November. The day we've all been waiting for - the first day of Polyglot NaNoWriMo. First of all, I just want to say how absolutely blown away I've been by the amount of support and enthusiasm I've seen on both Twitter and Instagram about this challenge - for … Continue reading NaNoWriMo, here we go again
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
Hejsan allihopa, välkommen tillbaka till min lilla hörna av nätet! Jag har tänkt väldigt länge på vad jag skulle skriva den här månaden. Som sagt i mina tidigare inlägg så har jag börjat med flera språkliga projekt, men det finns tyvärr inte så mycket jag kan säga om dem i det här läget. Då tänkte … Continue reading Morden vid träsket
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
