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 … Fortsätt läsa Eyes front, soldier!

Šťastný nový rok!
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.

Journey to the past: my journey into conlanging, part 2

Resource Management
I'm always a tad reluctant to use the term 'polyglot', as it seems to imply a kind of born talent for languages that honestly, I'm not sure I have; but among my friends, suffice it to say that I'm known as the languages guy. Although I only speak four languages (three of them being incredibly … Fortsätt läsa Resource Management
Once more unto the breach: my journey into conlanging, part 1
It all started when I was coming into my final year of university. At this point my love of languages was already in full swing after having appeared like a bolt from the blue a few years earlier, and I’d already dabbled in German, Norwegian, and Esperanto. I had also completed my five-month Erasmus programme … Fortsätt läsa Once more unto the breach: my journey into conlanging, part 1
Polyglot NaNoWriMo
There's an event that takes place every year in November called NaNoWriMo, which stands for National Novel Writing Month. The idea is that you write around 1600 words every single day for a month, without editing as you go. If you manage to do that, you end up with 50,000 words of a novel. Sure, … Fortsätt läsa Polyglot NaNoWriMo
Ĉu mi lernas alian lingvon?
Mi estis tedita semajnfine, kaj mi volis lerni alian lingvon, ĉar... mi estas mi, kaj mi trovas ĝin trankvila. Sed kiu lingvo devas mi lerni? Mi iris al Tumblr, por trovi inspiro kaj Mi trovis grupon de homoj, kiuj estis pasiigitaj pri sia lingvo. Kaj tiel komencis mi lerni esperanton. 'Sed esperanto estas tre malbela,' … Fortsätt läsa Ĉu mi lernas alian lingvon?

Scandinavian for beginners, part 3
Again, as a way of distracting myself from writing something about Brexit, I decided to dip back into my ongoing series of posts to teach you guys some basic Scandinavian. So that's exciting, isn't it? And if Brexit does go tits up, you can use these posts as the first stop on your emigration to … Fortsätt läsa Scandinavian for beginners, part 3
It’s all genetic
Earlier this year, I decided to treat myself to a DNA test from a well-known company, which specialises in genetics and family trees as a sort of Christmas present to myself. Honestly, in a way, I was looking for a semi-logical explanation as to why I'm so interested (some might say obsessed) with Northern Europe … Fortsätt läsa It’s all genetic
