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… Fortsätt läsa Dabbling on the Livonian coast

Languages & Me: Scandilove
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.

Although I only speak four languages (three of them being incredibly… Fortsätt läsa Resource Management
