A few months ago, I started regaling you all with the story of my journey into Conlanging. I'm by no means an expert in this field, as I'm sure you're aware - but I've been reading a little more and watching YouTube videos about the subject and that gave me the kick I need to … Fortsätt läsa Journey to the past: my journey into conlanging, part 2
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.

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.

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
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?

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
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
